Jimmy Kimmel shared that he extended an offer to Stephen Colbert, inviting him to guest host "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" during Kimmel's summer vacation. Colbert, who recently concluded his 11-year run as host of "The Late Show," politely declined Kimmel's generous invitation. This exchange highlights a unique dynamic between the two prominent late-night personalities.
Colbert's departure from "The Late Show" was marked by a heartfelt tribute to his audience and the dedicated crew. He emphasized the joy and camaraderie that defined his tenure. Following his exit, Colbert made an unannounced appearance on a public access show in Monroe, Michigan, engaging with viewers.
Meanwhile, "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" has secured Rosie O'Donnell to guest host for a week in August. Kimmel humorously framed this booking as a special treat for President Trump, given O'Donnell's history as a frequent critic. The show airs weeknights on ABC.
