First on LateNighter: Jimmy Kimmel was set to begin a week of new episodes today after taking last week off, but now tonight’s taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live! has been cancelled.
Seth Rogen, whose Apple TV+ series The Studio releases its season finale on Wednesday, was scheduled to be Kimmel’s guest tonight, along with CNN anchor Jake Tapper and singer-songwriter Kali Uchis.
ABC will air a rerun of JKL’s May 5th broadcast in its place, featuring The Pitt’s Noah Wyle, comedian Tom Segura, and musical guest Fuerza Regida.
The network didn’t offer details on why Kimmel’s taping was cancelled, but the host revealed last week that his daughter was due with her first child. Kimmel shared the news of the expectancy in a video made for the ABC upfronts last week, in which he offered to sell the naming rights to his first grandchild.
Kimmel’s daughter Katie is his oldest child, born in 1988 to him and ex-wife Gina Maddy-Kimmel.
Kimmel last scrapped taping came amid the Los Angeles wildfires earlier this year. However, the host has opted not to cancel shows when it’s just him that’s unable to make it. When Kimmel contracted COVID in 2022, the show went on: He passed off hosting duties to that night’s scheduled guest, Mike Birbiglia, at the last minute.
As of now, Kimmel’s Tuesday-Thursday tapings remain on the schedule. His guests for the rest of the week include Sarah Silverman, Owen Wilson, Miley Cyrus, and coincidentally, Birbiglia.

I sure hope it’s to cancel the appearance of Jake Tapper plugging his shameful Biden-bashing book. Please don’t do it, Jimmy!!! Don’t give him a platform for this!
Why not? Shouldn’t we know how Biden lied about his mental decline?
Just like we should know about Trumps mental decline. He has been acting just like a child lately. Also, Ronald
Ragan’s cover up went for almost his whole second term.
Who is Ragan?
Again, the Democrat party and its liberal media propaganda machine was part of an insane coverup of that Joe Biden had dementia and now even worse.
Americans and the world should know more about this devious machinations.

What’s there to know? You losers are trying to project your Dear Toddler Drumpf’s dementia onto Biden, because your all so fucking stupid that you can’t think for yourselves.
Smarten up, or else we’ll drag your loser ass to the woodshed for the mother of all bare as belt whippings!
Understand boy?
Because he’s not demented, you fucking retard!
I think you nailed it.
Thank-you for sharing your view.
I totally agree with you
I wish I had that liberty with my work schedule
What? Birbiglia wasn’t available last night?
Jimmy!
You don’t get it.
Back when you and Adam Corolla were the guys who brought us “Girls jumping on trampolines”on the Man Show you were talking to your base.
But now on Jimmy Kimmel Late Night you have absolutely no credibility. None!
Should not even have your own show.
It’s called “growing up!” Jimmy Kimmel did it, and I suggest you do likewise, you crybaby loser!🖕😠🖕
