Jimmy KimmelTV personality Jimmy Kimmel has been showing his support for striking staff of his talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live! - He's been paying their wages since they formed the picket lines almost four weeks ago.

Members of the Writers Guild of America have been on strike since November 5th, when discussions between the union and show producers broke down over a royalty dispute. And while fellow chat show hosts David Letterman and Conan O'Brien have it known that they are paying their staff's wages out of their own pocket, Kimmel has been keeping his kind gestures low-key.

Kimmel is alleged to be keeping those worst hit by the strike - like junior production assistants and receptionists - on the pay roll, while the show's network, ABC, is continuing to pay the host's more senior staff, reports TMZ.com.
