Look out, David and Jay.

You’re going to have some more competition starting in January.

ABC will move Jimmy Kimmel Live! to 11:35 p.m. starting on Jan. 8, going directly head-to-head with NBC’s Tonight Show with Jay Leno and CBS’ Late Show with David Letterman.

“Given the passionate fan base ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ has built over the past decade, and the show’s ratings and creative momentum this season, the time is right to make this move,” Anne Sweeney, co-chair of Disney Media Neworks and president of the Disney/ABC Television Group, said in a statement.”

Nightline will move to 12:35 a.m. and get a new Friday prime time show starting on March 1.

“Thanks to all for the kind words re. our move to 11:35 in Jan. I feel like a real life Princess,” Jimmy Kimmel tweeted on Tuesday.

Congrats go out to Jimmy Kimmel, who proposed to his girlfriend Molly McNearney, co-head writer of his ABC late night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Kimmel popped the question during their vacation at Kruger National Park in South Africa.

The two have been dating since 2009. It will mark the second marriage for Kimmel, who was married for 13 years and has two children with his ex-wife.

Plus, there was that whole Sarah Silverman relationship that lasted off and on for nearly seven years. This will be McNearney’s first marriage.

Don’t fret, medical marijuana users.

Normally the adults are the ones wreaking havoc on their children, but Kimmel got kids to spray their dads with a hose.

Hilarity ensues.

How do you think the ABC late night talk show host did? There were some awkward moments at times but Kimmel pulled no punches.

Politico.com’s Patrick Gavin traveled to LA this week to talk to Jimmy Kimmel ahead of the talk show host’s weekend assignment as MC of the 2012 White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.

Kimmel says he checked in with several of the event’s previous hosts including Seth Myers and Stephen Colbert. Everyone has told him that the key to success is getting the President to laugh. As goes the POTUS, so goes the crowd.

Executive producer Don Mischer returns for a record 12th time and will work with Kimmel, who has previously hosted the American Music Awards and ESPY Awards.

“We are thrilled to have been asked to produce the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards,” Mischer said in a statement. “We love television and look forward to working with the Television Academy and ABC in creating a show that is fast-paced, humorous, unpredictable, and at times irreverent, but clearly celebratory of our incredible industry.”

The Emmy Awards, honoring the best in television, airs Sept. 23 on ABC.

Funny skit on last night’s Jimmy Kimmel show, going behind-the-scenes on the trailer for his non-movie Movie: The Movie. We especially like how Bryan Cranston doesn’t just love jalapenos, he loves “the wiener” too.

For years now, the most entertaining part of the Oscars has been Jimmy Kimmel‘s post-Academy Awards special.

The ABC late night talk show host landed some serious star power for his seventh special Thursday when the network announced Oprah Winfrey would join Kimmel on Feb. 26.

This should be a change of pace for Winfrey, who is normally doing the interviewing.

Kimmel is the right man behind the desk to make the former talk show giant squirm just a little bit while she promotes her new weekly series on OWN, Oprah’s Next Chapter.

Billy Crystal, Meryl Streep, George Clooney and Martin Scorsese will also join Kimmel and Coldplay will close out the show.
