Jimmy Kimmel is the odd man in on late night this week. Jimmy Kimmel Live! will be the only network talk show turning out new episodes as most of late night takes a spring break.Â
Kimmel’s guests this week are set to include soon-to-be two-time SNL host Quinta Brunson, Will Forte, Ben Affleck, and Jelly Roll. He’ll also be talking politics with Chris Hayes and Jasmine Crockett, Democratic US Representative from Texas. Kimmel’s head writer and co-executive producer Danny Ricker will also join to promote his new book, Wow, You Look Terrible.
JKL’s lead-out Nightline will help keep the lights on with new shows. The only other shows producing new episodes this week are Fox News Channel’s Gutfeld! and Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live. (On Wednesday, Cohen’s guests include Saturday Night Live alum Casey Wilson.)
The five other nightly shows are all dark. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is taking the week off—its first break since the week of March 17, aside from one dark night when CBS aired highlights from The Masters in its time slot.Â
Meanwhile, The Daily Show is taking its first week off since the week of March 10.Â
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Seth Meyers, and After Midnight are all also on hiatus. Each are entering their second straight week off. All three are set to return on Monday, April 28. (SNL will be back to work that week as well, gearing up for May 3’s episode with host Quinta Brunson and musical guest Benson Boone after its own two weeks out of office.)

To be hateful and unforgiving is a cancer that steals your joy. Making others the butt of your jokes is just a bad look. It makes one look small and a sore loser. Life is sometimes a competition, it’s just business. If I have something against salesmen and let him go, then my sales suffer, I will call him back and offer him a raise from where he was before I let him go. It’s just business, if you make it personal that will result in you spending time thinking about a situation in the past where I had lost. If I’m wrong and lose a client, I need to restore my previous sales at whatever cost and move on.
It looks to me like the “victim” in this doesn’t see himself as the victim and just moved on. He hasto answer questions about it, but I’ve never heard a disparaging word from Jay about any of the losers of the job, and his friends. Ratings went down, so revenue if it hadn’t already would have gone down and they made a business decision. Jay was the winner, and I don’t know if any of the others would have taken a 50% pay cut to pay their staff more to keep them employed. I’ve never heard of anyone else who has taken a 15 million dollar a year pay cut so others could keep well paying jobs.
Hateful people are generally not happy people. Jay has always seemed to be happy, passionate, and humble. A genuinely good man.
