19. Jimmy Kimmel, Arizona State Sun Devils

Jimmy Kimmel has had quite the career in comedy, from starring on low-brow comedy shows as a younger man in the business to now being one of the biggest faces on late-night television. Before all of that started, however, Kimmel was a Sun Devil as a student at Arizona State. And despite being a major figure in Los Angeles these days, his allegiances still very much lie in Tempe with his beloved Sun Devils.

Perhaps the funniest display of Kimmel’s fandom — really, funny is the name of his game, so that shouldn’t be surprising — came before the 2015 National Championship Game. Despite the fact that Arizona State wasn’t playing and, frankly, wasn’t close to making the title game, Kimmel still picked the Sun Devils to win the title. Talk about buying in with all your heart.

Unfortunately for Kimmel and really for the students at Arizona State, Kimmel isn’t able to contend a great deal of Sun Devils football games just because his scheduled doesn’t always allow it. However, you can bet that he’s there when he’s able. He loves being around his favorite team, even getting into Pac-12 Media Day back in 2014 so he could hang out with members of the team.

Kimmel has truly developed in terms of his own stardom, going from comedy cult sensation to one of the most recognizable and viral faces on television with his creative approach to it all. At the heart of him, though, still lies his old self, a diehard ASU football fan.
