Magic Johnson and Jimmy Kimmel by Mitch Haddad/ABC
Cheers to ABC for giving Jimmy Kimmel some well-deserved primetime exposure with his Game Night specials. Airing before the net's coverage of the high-profile Lakers-Celtics NBA finals, the half-hours mix big-name guests like Adam Sandler and Steve Carell with Kimmel's usual crew (Uncle Frank, Cousin Sal, et. al.). Hope this vote of confidence puts to rest the rumors that the network could bump Kimmel to make room for Jay Leno when he exits NBC next year. After five solid years of serivce — not to mention "I'm F---ing Ben Affleck" — keeping Kimmel should be a slam dunk.
