Jimmy Kimmel has taken several opportunities this year to cast aside humor and secret sex hairy videouse his platform to discuss a serious issue close to his heart: healthcare.
On Monday night Kimmel carried a very special guest on stage — his seven-month-old son Billy, who had just undergone his second open heart surgery last week.
Kimmel had recently taken time off from hosting to stay with Billy while he recovered, leaving celebrities like Chris Pratt, Tracee Ellis Ross, Neil Patrick Harris, and Melissa McCarthy to host the show in his absence.
In a heartbreaking 15-minute plea for better healthcare back in May, the late night host and father of four tearfully revealed his youngest son was born with congenital heart disease

If Kimmel's moments of vulnerability and honesty have made you cry (it's okay, they've made us cry, too) here are a few things you can do to help.
If you're inspired to get involved and help those struggling with medical coverage, this is a perfect opportunity to learn more about the other organizations and programs Kimmel supports.
Los Angeles Children's Hospital
When sharing details of his son's birth and surgery Kimmel gave a shout out to the Children's Hospital in Los Angeles and the nurses and doctors who cared for his son.
He tweeted thanking fans for their donations to the hospital and linked out to the website where people can learn how to donate money or participate in fundraising opportunities.

"Before 2014, if you were born with congenital heart disease like my son was, there’s a good chance you would never be able to get health insurance because you had a pre-existing condition," Kimmel said in May.
“If your baby is going to die, and it doesn't have to, it shouldn't matter how much money you make ... we all agree on that, right? I mean, we do!"
Pediatric Congenital Heart Association
Founded in 2013, the Pediatric Congenital Heart Association (PCHA) works to provide support to patients and families specifically affected by congenital heart disease, such as Jimmy's.
In addition to offering educational resources on congenital heart disease and related policy priorities, PCHA raises awareness by giving members of the community a place to share their stories. The association's advocates are committed to inspiring government action and furthering research.
You can donate to support the efforts here.
Money isn't the only thing worth donating and Los Angeles isn't the only place in need. Using the Children's Hospital Association website to search locations, you can find out how to offer your time to help Children's Hospitals across the country.
The site provides information on advocacy tools, how to volunteer and give blood, and raise awareness by participating in other campaigns like Speak Now for Kids, which raises awareness of families facing difficult healthcare challenges.
In the past, Kimmel has called out specific representatives on his show and over Twitter, urging viewers to donate their time to resolving healthcare issues by picking up the phone themselves.
While holding his son, Kimmel called on viewers to phone the House and Senate at (202) 225-3121and "tell them to take a break for tax cuts" to fight for healthcare and keep the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) alive.
He explained that the program, which was created in 1997 and funded by state and the federal governments, provides over 8 million children with healthcare coverage.
As The Washington Post noted, CHIP supports uninsured children in low to middle families who wouldn't otherwise have access to affordable coverage, along with pregnant women.
Though funding for the bill was authorized in 2015, it expired on Sept. 30, 2017, and Congress has yet to renew. According to a government report, while some states still have a bit of money remaining, the majority — 31 states and the District of Columbia — are projected to run out of CHIP funds by March 2018.
To ensure Congress takes action, Kimmel urged viewers to reach out to House Representatives and State Senators. This database will help. The site lists relevant names, addresses, phone and fax numbers, even giving you the opportunity to make a shareable call script.
Additionally, The 65 — which started as a public document with tips to guide people towards taking political action — includes a set of helpful call scripts on a variety of issues, including how to request the CHIP funding renewal bill be passed before state funds completely runs out.
