When Jimmy Kimmel took the stage of his late-night show in April 2017, viewers expected his usual humor and irreverence. Instead, he shared a raw, emotional, and deeply personal story. Kimmel revealed that his newborn son, Billy, was facing a life-threatening heart condition: tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia, a rare congenital defect that impairs the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively.
