The entertainment world is mourning the heartbreaking death of Cleto Valentine Escobedo III, the gifted musician and beloved bandleader of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, who passed away on November eleventh, two thousand twenty-five, at the age of fifty-nine. Born in Las Vegas, Cleto was destined for music, learning saxophone from his father before rising to fame touring with Paula Abdul and Marc Anthony. His life changed forever in two thousand three, when childhood friend Jimmy Kimmel invited him to lead the Jimmy Kimmel Live! band, Cleto and the Cletones. For more than two decades, Cleto’s music brought life, laughter, and soul to late-night television.
He passed away after facing undisclosed health issues, leaving behind his wife Lori, two children, and a legacy that transcends generations. Kimmel’s emotional tribute captured the love shared between two lifelong friends who turned their dreams into history. Cleto’s influence on the music and television world will never fade — his laughter, kindness, and unforgettable performances will echo in every heart he touched.
