Lou Wilson

Lou Wilson is an actor and comedian who serves as the on-air announcer for ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” He grew up in Altadena, California, and is proud to be a lifelong Angeleno, outside of a brief four-year stint in Boston where he got a degree from Boston College and had one snowball fight.

Prior to joining “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” Wilson wrote for Playboy and “Crank Yankers,” and acted in multiple TV and film projects including Netflix’s “American Vandal” and Judd Apatow’s “King of Staten Island” alongside Pete Davidson.
Starting as a writer on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in 2020, Wilson’s elevation to on-air announcer in 2022 came as no surprise to those who have had conversations interrupted by his booming voice. He is excited to join the long history of men and women loud enough to scream celebrities’ names on national television.
