I have known Jimmy Kimmel man and boy for 25 years since he started in TV as my co-host on Win Ben Stein’s Money. I have known him as colleague, friend, TV star, and human rights advocate. There is no person I have ever known who respects the dignity, civil rights, equality under law, and God-given spiritual beauty of every American of every race, sexual orientation, age, economic status, and level of fame more than Jimmy Kimmel. Anyone who implies different is tragically mistaken.
Respectfully, Ben Stein
