Jimmy Kimmel has finally scored a meeting with the Vice President.
VP Kamala Harris is now scheduled to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, June 4.
She was initially slated to guest on Kimmel’s April 16th episode, but postponed the appearance days after it was announced, cutting her Los Angeles trip short for an undisclosed reason.
At the time, insiders said her interview would be rescheduled for a later date. (Harris’ next talk show appearance wound up being The Kelly Clarkson Show on April 29.)
Her appearance will come less than a week after yesterday’s conviction of former President Donald Trump on 34 felony charges related to hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels. Last night, Kimmel had the distinction of being the only late-night host not on vacation the day the news broke.
Harris last appeared on a late-night show in March 2023 when she guested on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. However, she has appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! twice before—both during the 2020 Presidential campaign.
Her visit to Kimmel marks the latest in a series of presidential press stops with late-night hosts ahead of the 2024 election. In February, Seth Meyers hosted President Biden for Late Night’s 10th anniversary show. The next month, Stephen Colbert sat down with Presidents Biden, Obama and Clinton at a New York fundraiser, which ended up hauling in a reported $26 million for the Biden reelection campaign.
Kimmel is set to sit down with President Biden and Former President Barack Obama himself on June 15th at a Los Angeles fundraiser for the president’s campaign. Both Biden and Obama have guested on Jimmy Kimmel Live! four times each.
