ABC Postpones ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ Over Personal Matter
The episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live scheduled to feature David Duchovny from Malice, Joe Keery from Stranger Things, and musical guest Madison Beer was postponed due to a “personal matter” involving the host.
ABC did not disclose the exact reason for the cancellation. Fans who planned to attend the taping at the El Capitan Theatre were informed that the show was postponed and were promised tickets to a future recording.
Madison Beer wrote 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.”
In place of the new episode, ABC aired a repeat from October 28. Though it is uncommon for Jimmy Kimmel or other late-night hosts to miss a show, personal issues sometimes arise that demand their attention.
Summary
The scheduled Jimmy Kimmel Live episode was postponed last minute due to a personal issue with the host, leading to a repeat airing and rescheduling of guest performances.
