SMART BECAUSE He's the rising late-night talk-show host who's truly taking 
 advantage of the Internet with clever, celeb-packed bits — kick-started by then girlfriend Silverman, who surprised Kimmel on his show with the hilarious Emmy-winning video ''I'm 
 F---ing Matt Damon.'' As his buzz and ratings build, Kimmel's hard work will pay off if ABC signs soon-to-be free agent Jay Leno: He'll get either a bump in viewers by following Jay at 12:30 or a bump in salary by moving to a rival network like Fox.
