Jimmy Kimmel Live! Cancels Thursday Night Episode Without Explanation

Jimmy Kimmel Live! unexpectedly canceled its planned Thursday night taping. Tonight’s episode, originally set to feature David Duchovny, Joe Keery, and musical guest Madison Beer, was pulled from the schedule.

Instead, ABC is airing a repeat of the October 28 episode in its place.

“Due to unforeseen circumstances, @jimmykimmellive needed to reschedule my performance that was originally scheduled to air tonight to a later date.” — Madison Beer

Madison Beer’s performance had been pre-recorded, but no official explanation for the cancellation has been given. LateNighter understands the reason is related to a personal matter.

New episodes are expected to resume next week.
