Kimmel Back: What's New on Late Night?
8 Sep
Summary
- Jimmy Kimmel returns to host "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Sept. 8.
- Guest hosts like Tiffany Haddish filled in during his absence.
- The show is nominated for an Emmy in the variety series category.
Jimmy Kimmel will resume hosting duties for "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on September 8th, following a voluntary summer break. This hiatus, a contractual arrangement since 2020, saw the show's studio remain dark during the summer of 2023 due to Hollywood's labor and writer strikes.
During Kimmel's absence, a variety of guest hosts, including Tiffany Haddish, Colman Domingo, and Anthony Anderson, stepped in to lead the show. Meanwhile, ABC aired reruns of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in the lead-up to his return. Kimmel himself hosted a summer run of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire," which garnered over 4 million viewers.
The show is also a contender at the upcoming Emmy Awards, nominated for outstanding variety series alongside other prominent shows. "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" has been a staple on ABC since 2003, though it has yet to secure a win in the variety or talk series category.
