Hours after announcing the death of Escobedo via social media, the talk show host delivered a 22-minute opening monologue on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, in which he tearfully paid tribute to the Cleto and the Cletones leader, who died on Tuesday aged 59. Immediately crying, Jimmy told the audience: "We've been on the air for almost 23 years, and I've had to do some hard monologues along the way. But this one's the hardest because late last night, early this morning, we lost someone very special who was much too young to go, and I'd like to tell you about him, if you don't mind."
