TV Guide Wants Jimmy Kimmel

If you don't want to be part of the late-night wars (or just can't), now you can catch Jimmy Kimmel reruns on the TV Guide network.

ABC's go-to guy for awards shows has struck a deal with the basic cable channel that would air episodes the day after their original date, says Reuters. The plan also helps bring new viewers to the ABC version, which averages 1.8 million viewers.

It's not the first taste of syndication for the late-night host. His former Comedy Central gig, "The Man Show," currently airs weeknights at 3:00 a.m. (EST) on G4.

"Jimmy Kimmel Live" airs every weeknight at 12:05 a.m. on ABC. The reruns will air weeknights at 7:00 p.m. on the TV Guide Network. -- Rachel Cericola
