The episode originally scheduled to feature David Duchovny from Malice, Joe Keery from Stranger Things, and musical guest Madison Beer was postponed due to a personal issue involving the host.
ABC informed fans attending the taping at the El Capitan Theatre that the show was delayed, and they would be given tickets to a future recording.
Madison Beer shared on social media: “Due to unforeseen circumstances, Jimmy Kimmel Live needed to reschedule my performance that was originally set to air tonight to a later date. I’ll share more details on timing when I can, I can’t wait for you all to see it.”
Instead of airing new content, ABC replayed an episode from October 28. While it is uncommon for Jimmy Kimmel or other late-night hosts to miss a show, occasional personal matters do arise requiring their attention.
The unexpected postponement highlights the rare but necessary breaks even high-profile late-night hosts must take for personal reasons.
