The late-night talk show unexpectedly canceled its planned Thursday night taping, which was set to feature David Duchovny, Joe Keery, and musical guest Madison Beer. Instead, ABC broadcast a rerun of the October 28 episode.
According to LateNighter, the decision to cancel came late in the afternoon without an official reason from the network. Insiders suggest the change may be connected to a personal matter.
“Due to unforeseen circumstances, @jimmykimmellive needed to reschedule my performance that was originally scheduled to air tonight to a later date,”
wrote Madison Beer on social media earlier in the day, noting that her musical segment had already been pre-recorded.
The show is expected to resume airing new episodes next week.
The cancellation of Thursday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! episode was unexpected, with ABC airing a rerun as sources cite possible personal reasons behind the abrupt decision.
