Jimmy Kimmel Devotes an Entire Episode to Remembering Kobe Bryant

Jimmy Kimmel presented an audience-free episode completely devoted to Kobe Bryant and his 15 appearances on JimmyKimmelLive over the years

In the wake of the news that Kobe Bryant, his daughter, and seven other people were killed in a helicopter crash outside of Los Angeles on Sunday, tributes and remembrances for the NBA superstar, his daughter, and the other victims have been pouring in.
