Jimmy Kimmel Taking a Break From His Show for the Summer

Please don’t make this a forever thing Jimmy!!

JimmyKimmel announced on Thursday that he will be taking a break from his late-night ABC talk show. The host of Jimmy Kimmel Live! will hand over his hosting duties to a “cavalcade” of guest hosts.

“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. I’m healthy, my family’s healthy, I just need a couple of months off. While I’m gone, a cavalcade of very kind and capable people will be filming in with me,” he said.

The shows featuring the guest hosts will start Monday, July 6th, after a two week hiatus.

Jimmy Kimmel Live! airs at 11:35pm EST on ABC and has been produced remotely from Jimmy’s home since March.
