What is the best HGTV?

The launch for Kimmel's television career and celebrity status was Kimmel's co-starring role as the comedic counterpart to Ben Stein on the game show Win Ben Stein's Money which aired on Comedy Central in 1997. His quick wit and everyman personality was a counterpart to Ben Stein's sleepy humor and intellectual elitist attitude and earned the pair an Emmy award for Best Game Show Host. In 1999, during his time with Win Ben Stein's money, Kimmel was also the co-host and co-creator (with Adam Carolla and Daniel Kellison) of Comedy Central's The Man Show. Kimmel permanently left Win Ben Stein's Money in 2001 and was replaced by comedian Nancy Pimental who, eventually, was replaced by Kimmel's cousin Sal Iacono. In January 2003, Kimmel permanently left the Man Show to host his own late-night talk show, Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC.
