Jackhole Industries

Background
Jackhole Industries is a production company started by Jimmy Kimmel, Daniel Kellison and Adam Carolla. The name came from a swear word Carolla made up to say on the radio without the FCC objecting to it. It is also an amalgam of Carolla and Kellison's previous company Jackhouse, and Kimmel's previous company Cashhole.

In early 2020, Kimmel's new production company, Kimmelot, assumed production responsibilities for Jimmy Kimmel Live; it is not known if this is due to a merger between Jackhole and Kimmelot.

1st Logo (June 15, 1999-August 4, 2002)
Visuals: On a light blue background, a cartoon donkey with a sombrero on his head and a bored-looking expression on his face sticks out of an "O", set in between an "H" and an "L"; all of the letters are in crimson with dark green outlines. The donkey's expression suddenly changes into surprise and he brays, during which the logo zooms out to reveal the rest of the letters in "JACKHOLE", also in the same style, and "INDUSTRIES" on the bottom-right in the same font. The donkey then finishes braying and assumes a goofy smile.

Variant: On Crank Yankers, the logo is superimposed on a billboard (current prints of the aforementioned Crank Yankers would do the same thing but the 3rd logo is used instead).

Technique: Hand-drawn animation.

Audio: The sound of a donkey braying.

Audio Variant: On early episodes of The Man Show, an announcer says "...in association with Jackhole Industries" with the end theme playing underneath the donkey braying.

Availability: Seen on the first two seasons of The Man Show. The variant was seen on the first season of Crank Yankers.

2nd Logo (July 1, 2001-April 13, 2004)
Visuals: On a desert background with hills far behind, a sun in the top left of the screen, and two cactuses on the bottom left and right side respectively, there is the donkey and the company name from the previous logo. The donkey jumps on the letters and lands on the "O" in "JACKHOLE", causing it to fly and land on his neck. He then says "Yokozuna!" and assumes the same goofy smile from the previous logo.

Technique: Choppy hand-drawn animation.

Audio: A part of the Mexican Hat Dance plays, and then the donkey saying his dialogue.

Availability: It was seen on seasons 3-4 of The Man Show, the second season of Crank Yankers, and Gerhard Reinke's Wanderlust.

3rd Logo (January 26, 2003-2020)
Visuals: On a gradient background, there is the company name in full black and in a completely different font at the upper-center of the screen, along with a redesigned version of the donkey (which noticeably looks slightly more crudely-drawn, is completely brown all over and has a horse-like tail) from the previous two logos standing below it. An arm wearing a black suit with a white cuff then comes in from the left, holding a burning branding iron, and stamps it onto the donkey's thigh, causing him to jump onto the "O" and bring down the words altogether. When he lands, the letters bounce and the "O" flies up, landing and spinning on his neck as he gets dizzier. He then loudly brays.

Variants:
 * On The Andy Milonakis Show, the animation is noticeably slower but still smooth, suggesting that the regular version of the logo was actually a sped-up variant.
 * Starting in 2009, the logo is reanimated in widescreen and noticeably bears a few visual changes from the 4:3 version. The arm, donkey and letters now have a visible motion blur effect applied to them, and the smoke coming from the branding iron burning the donkey is smoother. The arm also looks longer than usual as a result of the change in aspect ratio.
 * On Crank Yankers, the logo is superimposed on a billboard, but the donkey is still seen braying.

Technique: Hand-drawn animation with smooth 2D effects.

Audio: A sound of the branding iron when the donkey is burnt, followed by a short horn tune, then the donkey's bray. Later ABC airings of Jimmy Kimmel Live use a generic theme and an announcer over the logo.

Audio Variant: On the first two seasons of The Andy Milonakis Show, Crank Yankers and early season 1 episodes of the aforementioned Jimmy Kimmel Live, only the sound effects are heard.

Availability: Seen on Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC until 2020. Also seen on Crank Yankers, The Andy Milonakis Show and on Windy City Heat.
