Hollywood is in mourning over the death of\u00a0Jimmy Kimmel Live!\u00a0<\/em>mainstay\u00a0Cleto Escobedo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Jimmy Kimmel\u00a0<\/strong>himself shared the devastating news on Nov. 11,\u00a0writing on Instagram, \u201cEarly this morning, we lost a great friend, father, son, musician and man, my longtime bandleader Cleto Escobedo III.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cTo say that we are heartbroken is an understatement,” the late night talk show host continued. “Cleto and I have been inseparable since I was 9 years old. The fact that we got to work together every day is a dream neither of us could ever have imagined would come true.”<\/p>\n Jimmy’s fellow comics also shared their condolences, with\u00a0Wanda Sykes<\/strong>\u00a0writing in the comments section, “Heartbreaking. So, very sorry.”<\/p>\n “So sorry,”\u00a0Howie Mandel\u00a0<\/strong>shared, while\u00a0Jeffrey Ross<\/strong>\u00a0added, “Love to his incredible family.”<\/p>\n In an Instagram post of her own,\u00a0Paula Abdul<\/strong>\u00a0recalled her first meeting with Cleto, who she toured with in the late ’80s.<\/p>\n “I first met Cleto when he was playing sax in a small bar at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas,” the singer\u00a0wrote. “I was putting together my band for my first world tour and the moment I heard him, I knew I had to hire him, even though he didn\u2019t have any touring experience yet.”<\/p>\n Praising his “undeniable” talent, Paula added, “Cleto was pure light and soul, both on and off stage. Sending so much love to his family and everyone who loved him.”<\/p>\n And she wasn’t the only music icon to pay tribute. Posting a photo of Cleto fronting his band\u00a0<\/p>\n “There are no words,” added the drummer, who collaborated with Cleto on his 1995 eponymous album. “You will be missed. I love u.”<\/p>\n Earlier this year,\u00a0Todd Chrisley<\/strong>\u00a0received a pardon from the President. However,\u00a0Patricia Altschul<\/strong>\u00a0is a tougher sell. Unlike POTUS, this\u00a0Southern Charm\u00a0star refuses to absolve Todd of his verbal crimes. Instead, this queen honey bee is standing ten wealthy toes down, adamant that Charleston is not a place for a \u201cfelon\u201d like Todd.<\/p>\n Todd and Patricia are the reality feud I never saw coming.\u00a0Their tiny tit for tat\u00a0started after Todd\u2019s release from prison. \u201cDuring the [post-prison] press conference, I had stated that we are doing a hotel and it\u2019s going to be near Charleston, South Carolina,\u201d Todd explained. In response, Patricia said, \u201cWell, there goes the neighborhood.\u201d<\/p>\n Well, Todd did not like that. So, he made several jests about Patricia, which mainly focused on her older age and her finances. Overall, it was gross.<\/p>\n So, recently clapping back via\u00a0Decider, Pat quipped, \u201cHe\u2019s very irrelevant. I said four words\u2014there goes the neighborhood \u2014 and he went on, and he did a whole program about me. It was just a comment in passing.\u201d Nevertheless, Patricia stands by her original stance, saying, \u201cWe just don\u2019t need any more\u00a0felons in Charleston.\u201d<\/p>\n Todd and his wife,\u00a0Julie Chrisley, were indicted on charges of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit bank fraud, and conspiracy to defraud the United States back in 2019. They swore they were innocent. Yet, they were still found guilty. In all,\u00a0The Chrisleys: Back to Reality\u00a0stars received a combined 19 years in federal prison, but thanks to their pardons, they walked out of their prison cells for good in May of this year.<\/p>\n And now, Ms. Pat wants them to heed her words and not walk toward\u00a0her in Charleston.<\/p>\n Southern Charm Season 11 premieres on November 19, 2025, at 9 p.m. ET\/PT on Bravo. New episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock, or Hayu in Canada, the UK, and Ireland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hollywood is in mourning over the death of\u00a0Jimmy Kimmel Live!\u00a0mainstay\u00a0Cleto Escobedo.
