Windy City Heat is a made for TV reality film produced by Comedy Central. It first aired on October 12, 2003 and is shown in repeats. The DVD was released on September 26, 2006. The movie is presented as a practical joke being played on an aspiring actor named Perry Caravello, allegedly a gullible friend of Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla. Caravello believes he has been given a chance to make a movie called Windy City Heat, a crime drama about a "sports private eye" named "Stone Fury". However, there is no such film; it is all an elaborate prank played on him by Kimmel and Carolla. Every actor,... extra, or any other person who appears on the show was paid for by Jimmy Kimmel to add to the joke. The actual context of Windy City Heat is a behind-the-scenes look at the filmmaking process, which is really nothing more than a series of situations set up as pranks on Caravello, playing on his gullibility and naïveté of the film industry. Apparently, the joke had been played on Caravello over eleven years of meticulous planning. Caravello was a struggling comedian and actor who was "discovered" in 1992 by Don Barris, the warmup comic for Kimmel and Carolla's show The Man Show.
