He commended the efforts of first responders, volunteers, and local news outlets.
Jimmy Kimmel delivered an emotional monologue during the January 13 episode of ' Jimmy Kimmel Live!' about the 'nightmare' situation of the Southern California fires. 'As you know, it has been a very scary, very stressful, very strange week here in LA, where we work, where we live, where our kids go to school,' Kimmel said, getting choked up. 'We are back at our studio, which we had to evacuate on Wednesday.
' Video footage then showed a fire close to the El Capitan Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, where the talk show is filmed. 'Many of us had to leave our homes in a hurry. Some of our co-workers lost their homes,' Kimmel said. 'It's been terrible. It's been terrible. Everyone who lives in the city knows someone, most of us multiple people -- families, friends, colleagues, neighbors -- whose houses burned down. And the truth is, we don't even know if it's over.' Kimmel continued, 'I think I speak for all of us when I say it has been a sickening, shocking, awful experience. But it has also been, in a lot of ways, a beautiful experience, because once again, we see our fellow men and women coming together to support each other. People who lost their own homes were out volunteering in parking lots helping others who lost theirs.''Without hesitation, they were out there putting out the fires as best they could,' he said, also shouting out firefighters from other states -- and countries -- for lending a helping hand in the face of the tragedy. 'To our police, our National Guard, our rescue workers, the doctors, the nurses, EMTs, the pilots working 12 hour shifts, thank God for all of you,' Kimmel added. 'I also want to thank our local news reporters who reminded us how important local television and radio and newspapers are.' In an effort to help those affected by the fires,'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' has opened a donation center in their backlot in Hollywood. Kimmel sharedThe Jimmy Kimmel Live Donation Center will be open every day this week through Friday, January 17, from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.
