Among the notable replacements is Rosie O'Donnell, a choice underscored by her long-standing public feud with former President Trump. Kimmel humorously requested that Trump refrain from 'doing anything stupid' while he is away.
Tiffany Haddish is scheduled to host the week of July 6, with Anthony Anderson, Ike Barinholtz, Colman Domingo, and Jelly Roll also confirmed to host. O'Donnell's specific hosting date is yet to be announced, though this marks her debut on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!."
O'Donnell is a veteran talk show host, having previously led "The Rosie O'Donnell Show" and co-hosted "The View." Her history with Trump includes numerous public exchanges over nearly two decades.
