ESPN kicks off Jimmy Kimmel ad for New Year's Eve College Football Playoff (3728 hits)
ESPN has enlisted ABC's Jimmy Kimmel in a new spot aimed at getting people to watch the College Football Playoff semifinals without forgetting their old acquaintances on New Year's Eve.
In a spot to be unveiled on ESPN's Monday telecast of "Monday Night Football" and exclusively previewed here, Kimmel is at a party with a motley group of athletes (New York Jets star Antonio Cromartie, Arizona Cardinals linebacker Dwight Freeney, Los Angeles Lakers' Nick Young), actors (Tracee Ellis Ross, Ken Jeong), singers (Robin Thicke, Kelly Rowland) and college team mascots (Joe and Josie Bruin) to suggest that the Cotton Bowl and the Orange Bowl can be enjoyed while ringing in the new year.
