Jimmy Kimmel’s “Uncle Frank” Dead At 77 [VIDEO]
August 24, 2011 I think Jimmy Kimmel Live! is one of the most underrated shows on late night tv. I think he's one of the best and funniest on late night and his show was rocked Tuesday with the announcement of the death of his Uncle Frank. His real name was Frank Potenza and was formerly a police officer for New York City and Kimmel's uncle in real life. "Uncle Frank" became a security guard on the late night show and was pretty darn funny in the skits that Kimmel had him in.
The cause of his death is unknown at this time and the show is on leave until the beginning of September.
