VIDEO: Highlights from JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE - Week of 2/18

Below, check out highlights from ABC's Jimmy Kimmel LIVE for the week of February 18th when Jimmy welcomed guests Kelly Ripa, Adam Samberg, Mike Piazza and more!

Jimmy Kimmel serves as host and executive producer of Emmy Award-nominated "Jimmy Kimmel Live," the ABC Television Network's late-night talk show. Now in its tenth season, "JKL" is packed with hilarious comedy bits and features a diverse lineup of guests including celebrities, athletes, musicians, comedians and humorous human interest subjects. Every night Kimmel delivers his up-to-the minute take on the latest news and pop culture topics from the day's events in his monologue.

"JKL's" recurring cast of characters include Kimmel's childhood best friend and bandleader Cleto Escobedo, security guard Guillermo Rodriguez, Kimmel's Cousin Sal, No. 1 Celebrity Superfan Jake Byrd and Kimmel's feisty Aunt Chippy. The late night show's famed comedy segments include "Jimmy Kimmel Lie Detective," "JKL's" YouTube challenges and "Kimmel Kartoons." "JKL" also features a weekly signature comedy segment entitled "Unnecessary Censorship," which pokes fun at the FCC's crackdown on the media by unnecessarily censoring clips from TV news, political speeches, reality TV and nature shows.

The show has also welcomed numerous esteemed guest directors to oversee individual episodes of the program, including J.J. Abrams, Quentin Tarantino, Michel Gondry and Jon Favreau.
