Jimmy Kimmel\u2019s show was yanked off the air Thursday night without warning, and no one is explaining why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJimmy Kimmel Live!\u201d was supposed to feature actor David Duchovny, \u201cStranger Things\u201d star Joe Keery, and pop singer Madison Beer, who ended up breaking the bad news to fans herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDue to unforeseen circumstances, @jimmykimmellive needed to reschedule my performance that was originally scheduled to air tonight to a later date,\u201d Beer posted on X at 6:33 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ABC has stayed mum on the sudden cancellation, but LateNighter reported the decision stemmed from \u201ca personal matter.\u201d Viewers tuning in at 11:35 p.m. ET were greeted instead by an old episode from October 28 \u2014 and plenty of confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fan on Reddit shared what looked like an email from the show\u2019s audience team: \u201cTonight\u2019s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live has been postponed. Apologies for any inconvenience. Will [sic] will contact you to reschedule for a future taping. Thanks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kimmel, who usually films Monday through Thursday at 4:30 p.m. PST, has rarely missed an episode in his 22 years behind the desk. But this isn\u2019t the first time \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live!\u201d has gone dark recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In September, the show was pulled for several days after Kimmel went on an anti-Trump tirade, blasting \u201cthe MAGA gang\u201d for \u201cdesperately trying to characterize\u201d a murder suspect \u201cas anything other than one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two days later, Federal Communications Commission boss Brendan Carr publicly reprimanded him, and Disney reportedly suspended the show. Kimmel returned on Sept. 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The network had already planned a short break last month from Oct. 20-23, returning Oct. 27. Earlier this year, Kimmel missed an episode to welcome his granddaughter, and back in 2017, he took a week off after his newborn son, Billy, underwent emergency heart surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In April, Kimmel posted a photo of Billy on Instagram, writing, \u201cHe is very healthy and strong thanks to the doctors, nurses, therapists, and staff at @ChildrensLA & @CedarsSinai and to those of you who have sent prayers, well wishes and donations through the years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kimmel\u2019s first-ever missed show came way back in 2007 when he had his appendix removed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
