Why Jimmy Kimmel Is Stepping Back From His Late Night Show For the Summer 

 June 19, 2020  admin  0 Comments

Viewers are used to seeing talk show host Jimmy Kimmel on their screens each night, even in the wake of the COVID-19 quarantine. 

For nearly two decades, he’s been hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! and serving as an executive producer for the show. Kimmel announced that he will be temporarily stepping back from his hosting duties but has a plan in place during his absence.

Kimmel made an announcement during his Thursday night episode that it will be his last one for the summer season. He will be off for a few months and it’s for a good reason: quality time with his family. 

Kimmel assured everyone that nothing is wrong, and he is expected to return sometime in September. 

I’m taking the summer off to spend even more time with my family. I’ve been doing this job for almost 18 years, I’ve done 3130 shows. There’s nothing wrong. My family’s healthy, I’m healthy; I just need a couple of months off. While I’m gone, a cavalcade of very kind and capable people will be filling in for me.

‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ will still go on

The plan is to have guest hosts—most likely celebrities—take over in Kimmel’s stead. New episodes will begin airing on July 6 after Jimmy Kimmel Live! goes on a two-week hiatus.
