Kimmel's Summer Break Features Celebrity Guest Hosts

Jimmy Kimmel is taking his annual summer break from 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', continuing the tradition that began in 2020. During his absence, a mix of returning and first-time celebrity guest hosts, including Anthony Anderson, Nicole Byer, Kumail Nanjiani, Alan Cumming, Fortune Feimster, Chris Distefano, Jelly Roll, and Diego Luna, will lead the show. Diego Luna will kick off guest hosting on June 23, featuring guests such as Patton Oswalt, Emma Stone, Nicholas Hoult, David Corenswet, and musical acts NEZZA, Hermanos Gutiérrez, and Good Charlotte. The arrangement is intended to benefit both Kimmel and his staff while giving celebrities the chance to host a late-night show. Kimmel joked about his summer break during his last episode, underscoring the show's playful approach to the transition. Despite his absence, the show will continue airing new episodes to maintain audience engagement.
