Jimmy Kimmel will perform at the 98th White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. Kimmel will perform for some of the biggest names in entertainment and journalism. No pressure. The event is scheduled to air on C-Span on April 28, 2012.

Jimmy said: ”I look forward to being a part of the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner. I love dinner.”

Seth Meyers hosted the 2011 dinner.

I'm looking forward to this! I love how quick Jimmy is. If he throws some improving into his set, this will be so good.

The lovable "Uncle Frank" Potenza of late night host Jimmy Kimmel has died. Uncle Frank spent 20 years working as a police officer in New York City. He has appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live several time since the show's launch in 2003.

The show released an official statement on Frank's passing -- saying his "kindness and humor" will be missed.

The show has not revealed Frank's cause of death.  Uncle Frank was 77.

Uncle Frank always came across as one of the nicest people you could ever meet. He had a permanent smile on his face and he brought laughs and entertainment to many for nearly a decade. He will be sorely missed!

Jimmy tweeted: "thank you for your kind words about a very kind man - my Uncle Frank - who passed away this morning."

So sad.

Ashley Hebert appeared on Jimmy Kimmel before this season of The Bachelorette premiered. On the show, Ashley said that she made a lot of mistakes. At the time, viewers didn't really know what she was talking about. Sadly, now we all do.

Ashley returned to Jimmy Kimmel's couch on Tuesday to talk about one of the worst reality TV villains in history, Bachelorette contestant Bentley Williams.

"Part of me just wants this to all be in the past and move on. In the moment, I felt so much sincerity. I know [fans will] say my radar's off, but I felt in my heart he was being genuine. I looked for the good in him and I gave him a shot. Watching it, I'm thinking, 'Why didn't I see that?' I saw what I wanted to see and that was my big problem."

Ashley was warned by former contestant Michelle Money that she should stay away from Bentley, but Ashley didn't listen.

Hebert added: "I haven't spoken to [Michelle], but I owe her a phone call. And a big thank you."

Yesterday, Charlie Sheen received the news that in order to regain custody of his twin 2 year-old sons, he would have to undergo a court-ordered psychiatric evaluation. But because he always puts others first, Chuckles decided to save the court some time and money by crashing Jimmy Kimmel Live and once again showing the whole world that he's as loony as they come. 

Charlie crashed the set during an interview with Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. He proceeded to swear a lot, make-out with Jimmy, and well, generally act like Charlie Sheen.

Jump in to watch the weirdness, and decide for yourself if Chuck is fit to raise children. Can we just vote on that instead of letting a judge decide?

Kate Gosselin knows how to promote herself and make ABC happy. Because she told Jimmy Kimmel that she's going to walk away with the trophy and the title, even more people will wanna find out if she can actually dance.

Kate, with her great new weave, appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night. When Jimmy asked her if she's competitive, she asked, "Have you watched my show?"

Kate said that she's going to have her mini-army voting for her. "[Daughter] Mady asked if she can vote for me? I said, 'Yes, pls do,'" Gosselin told Kimmmel, adding that she told "the little kids" to vote too. So far, Gosselin said she's done three days of practicing.

Kate now has a dance floor in her basement and plans on practicing while her kids are home or sleeping.

She said she is glad to be working with Dovolani because he is "a very positive person. Even when I mess up really, really bad - which is a lot - he still has something positive to say... I was never coordinated enough, which is a problem with dancing, but I can run," she said -- Gosselin is staying strong. I am going to give it my all!"

Kate's a friggin' genius. I can't think of a better show for her to compete in in order to gain maximum mainstream exposure. Jon and his baby dick are nothing without her. Kate may not win DWTS this season, but she's already come out on top!

I've been to quite a few Live With Jimmy Kimmel show tapings and I always have a great time because Jimmy is just great! On the other hand, my disdain for Jay Leno runs deep. I've always thought that he sucks, and now the world knows that Jay's a greedy, self-centered jerk with an ego the size of Texas. Many people including Barack Obama are supporting Conan O'Brien and saying that they're on Team Coco. I am too, natch.

Jimmy Kimmel has always clowned Jay Leno, so I have no idea what possessed Jay and his crew to bring Kimmel onto his show, but I'm glad they did!

Jimmy couldn't have put it better when he noted that Jay is a superficial prick by saying: "Listen, Jay, Conan and I have children—all you have to take care of is cars. I mean, we have lives to lead here. You've got $800 million, for God's sakes—leave our shows alone."

• [Asked by Leno what the best prank he ever pulled was] "The best prank I ever pulled was I told a guy that—five years from now—I'm gonna give you my show. And then when the five years came, I gave it to him, and then I took it back almost instantly."

• [Asked by Leno if he ever orders anything off of the TV] "Like NBC ordered your show off the TV?"

• [Asked by Leno what the record is for number of lap dances he's received in one night] "Strippers, I don't like in general. Because you have this phony relationship with them for money, similar to that of when you and Conan were on The Tonight Show together, passing the torch... you know what I'm saying."

• [Asked by Leno what he hasn't yet hosted, but would like to] "Oh, this is a trick, right? Where you get me to host The Tonight Show and then take it back from me?"

I'm boycotting the Jay Leno show and I hope NBC will fire him within the next few months. To get caught up on the entertaining video segments about all the drama, you'll wanna click HERE.

The sex tape you never wanted to see might exist. There's rumors hitting the 'net today that Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman have a sex tape.

The two supposedly made the tape while on vacation a few years ago and forgot to take the camera with them. An employee at the resort is attempting to sell the tape, but who really wants to pay for that?

In the 15 minute tape, the two get their groove on the boring old folks way, straight missionary style. I'd watch it. I've seen German chicks with pigs, dudes with horses and Asian ladies playing with each other while vomiting in a bathtub. I'm not scared of some Jimmy Kimmel action.

Similar to just about every Hollywood breakup, a source said "the breakup was mutual," and their reps issued a statement saying, "Jimmy and Sarah will have no further comment." Uh, was that a punchline? I expect a hell of a lot more from these two.

Silverman, 37, was spotted at Hugos in West Hollywood on Saturday with a male friend.

"She really looked like she was in good spirits. She was laughing and smiling. Very animated."

But a few minutes later, Silverman �" who ate organic quinoa topped with fresh fruit �" grew somber.

Mutual friend Jonah Hill �" who has appeared in comedy skits on Kimmel's ABC show �" was dining in the restaurant and also stopped by to say hello.

"Jonah's appearance definitely had an effect on her. They spoke for just a minute. And after he left, Sarah looked momentarily pensive."

The pair met during a roast for Hugh Hefner, where Silverman told the audience he was fat and joked he had no charisma �" but that didn't stop them from working together.
