Rodney Muñoz — a longtime Hollywood costume designer known for his work on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” — is dead.
Jimmy Kimmel announced Rodney’s death Friday in a social media post … calling him a “dear friend.”
The cause and manner of death are unclear.
Jimmy says … “Rodney was one of the most talented people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. He was a funny, surly, hard-working man whose tough exterior hid a huge and generous heart.”
He adds … “Rodney helped many of us through difficult times. He was a devoted son, brother, and Uncle; a great baker, and a caring friend. No man saw me in my underpants more. We will miss Rodney as he joins his beloved parents in whatever comes next.”
Rodney worked at ABC Studios as a costume designer for nearly 24 years … before that, he designed costumes for David Letterman‘s late-night talk show on CBS.
He styled Jimmy for The Oscars and worked as a wardrobe stylist on “Fear Factor.”
Rodney was 60.
