Did Jimmy Kimmel Ever Voice Jimmy on South Park? Fact-Checking the Enduring Rumor
The persistent association between Kimmel and the show remains active because the creators maintain a direct, collaborative public relationship with him. Over the course of Kimmel’s long-running ABC talk show, Parker and Stone have made Kimmel their default late-night venue whenever they have major milestones to publicize.
Their recent interview unveiling details about the Season 29 premiere showcased the easy rapport that has confused casual television fans for decades. The duo brought custom visuals and unvarnished stories straight to Kimmel's desk, demonstrating a level of comfort they rarely show in traditional press junkets. Kimmel serves as an enthusiastic chronicler and public advocate for the show, but he remains in the interviewer’s chair, leaving Jimmy Valmer's microphone squarely with Trey Parker.
