LOS ANGELES, Feb. 13 (UPI) -- The "Jimmy Kimmel Live" fourth annual post-Oscar special is to be broadcast live from the El Capitan Entertainment Center in Hollywood, ABC said.

The program is expected to air from approximately 12:05 a.m. to 1:05 a.m. EST, immediately following the late local news and the Feb. 22 film awards ceremony.

During last year's post-Oscar special, Kimmel debuted his star-studded revenge music video featuring Ben Affleck -- responding to a video by Sarah Silverman and Matt Damon -- which became an instant viral sensation, garnering millions of hits.

Celebrities who appeared in the video included Brad Pitt, Harrison Ford, Cameron Diaz, Robin Williams, Don Cheadle, Dominic Monaghan, Joan Jett, Perry Farrell, Lance Bass, Josh Groban, Pete Wentz, Huey Lewis, Macy Gray, Meat Loaf, Good Charlotte's Joel and Benji Madden, Dick Barrett and others.

Last year's post-Oscar telecast of "Jimmy Kimmel Live" drew 3.7 million viewers, ABC said.
