Jimmy Kimmel gave a beautifully funny and tearful [View all]

eulogy for his friend and bandleader, Cleto Escobedo III. Cleto's family were in the audience and Cleto's father in the band.

He's taking the next few days off. The monolog is 22 minutes and it's a wonderful tribute. Jimmy's a good guy.
