Jimmy Kimmel Live! Cancels Thursday Night Episode Without Explanation

First on LateNighter: Jimmy Kimmel Live! unexpectedly canceled its planned Thursday night taping late this afternoon.

Tonight’s episode—originally set to feature David Duchovny, Joe Keery, and musical guest Madison Beer—has been pulled from the schedule. ABC is airing a repeat of the show’s October 28 episode in its place.

In a social media post earlier today, Madison Beer, whose performance for tonight’s show had been pre-recorded, wrote, “Due to unforeseen circumstances, @jimmykimmellive needed to reschedule my performance that was originally scheduled to air tonight to a later date.”

No explanation has yet been provided for the cancellation, but LateNighter understands that it has to do with a personal matter. The show is scheduled to return with new episodes next week.

    Was it cancelled before it usually tapes or after they taped it?

      You’re upset that you can’t see a man that did blackface and did skits about murdering Latino women?

      I thought you folks were supposed to be about empathy.

        Because he’s a hypocritical turdbag that projects his faults onto others, because he thinks his side is so pure, while the other side is pure evil scum, when, in reality, his side is the absolute worst!

        Isn’t that right, Mucky Boy? I know you’ll quickly respond with your predictably ignorant talking points that you love to shit out. Because you’re a fucking trailer trash loser that can’t help lash out at the world!

        Sucks being you, bitchboy!🖕😈🖕

      It’s on Hulu now ABC is on Hulu now we have YouTube tv and that’s where we watch all ABC shows now. But they air later. No need to cancel YouTube tv. We thought so too at first

    Have been looking forward to David Duchovny on this show for weeks. I hope everyone involved in tonight’s show is okay and look forward to a reschedule.
