Jimmy Kimmel To Add His Voice To Upcoming ABC Family Comedy MAN OF THE HOUSE

According to Deadline, Jimmy Kimmel will be adding his voice to Man of the House, ABC's multi-camera hybrid family comedy pilot from Gail Berman's The Jackal Group, ABC Studios and SCANDAL star Kerry Washington's studio-based Simpson Street. Kimmel joins previously announced Alyson Hannigan, Leslie Bibb, Jake Short, Jenna Ortega and Reece Caddell.

The host of ABC's JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE will provide the voice-over/narration of the grownup version of Jake Short's character Bradley. Kimmel's voice-over provides the point of view of Bradley looking back fondly at the women who made him the man he is today.

Written by Vijal Patel and Frank Pines inspired by Pines' life, THE FAMILY comedy revolves around two recently divorced, very different sisters who, against their better judgment, move in together to raise their collective kids. Jessie (Hannigan) is a sensitive social worker and overprotective mom to teen football star Bradley (Short) and preteen Blair (Caddell). Her sister Lexi (Bibb) is an overly confident, take-no-prisoners mom who gets her way with everyone, except maybe her teenage mini-me of a daughter, Elena (Ortega). While Bradley oscillates between the hyper-male world of HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL and the hyper-female world at home, this group of women is going to teach him how to be a better man, whether he likes it or not.

Before hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live!, he was best known as the co-host of Comedy Central's The Man Show and Win Ben Stein's Money. Kimmel has also produced such shows as Crank Yankers, Sports Show with Norm Macdonald, and The Andy Milonakis Show.
