Jimmy Kimmel Takes Summer Break From Hosting ABC Late Night Show

[Necro]

Jimmy Kimmel is taking “a couple of months off” from his ABC late-night talk show, the host announced Thursday.

“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” will take a two-week hiatus starting next week before resuming with guest-hosted episodes starting Monday, July 6.

“Jimmy is taking time off to spend even more time with his family,” the network said in a statement. “He’s been doing this job for almost 18 years, 3,130 shows, and will be taking a few months off. While Jimmy’s gone a cavalcade of very kind and capable people will be filling in for him.”

Might have something to do with the blackface controversy.



I actually liked Jimmy back in the day, but with skeletons like this in your closet might not want to be so high and mighty.

The racist accent too makes it even worse.

Hope this vacation turns into a retirement.

Not because of the controversy but because he's the least funny late night host going.

I'd suggest this has more to do with the Megan Fox trend last night on Twitter and people wanting Kimmel canceled for laughing when she talked about Bay being creepy to her or some shit. It blew up last night and a clip was being shared of her on Kimmel's show. I watched the clip, he joked abut men suppressing their thoughts to sexual underage girls so I can see why they're all upset and shit, but meh. It'll blow over like it usually does with him.

Think the guy from the man show would say something all men have thought of......shocking I tell ya.

Those Karl Malone segments were hilarious. Don't really give a shit about his Late Night show so eh, whatever.
