ABC said Monday that Ford is set to deliver a "very special" gift to Kimmel to mark the occasion.
Kimmel said he considers himself lucky to work for a network that had the patience to allow the show to grow and, as he put it, "pays no attention to what goes on after midnight."
"Jimmy Kimmel Live!" airs at 12:05 a.m. EST weeknights on ABC. Also appearing on the show Tuesday are Kristen Bell and the Silversun Pickups band.
