The planned Thursday night taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live! was unexpectedly canceled. The episode was originally set to feature David Duchovny, Joe Keery, and musical guest Madison Beer.
Instead of a new show, ABC aired a repeat of the October 28 episode.
Madison Beer, whose performance had been pre-recorded, addressed the change on social media:
“Due to unforeseen circumstances, @jimmykimmellive needed to reschedule my performance that was originally scheduled to air tonight to a later date.”
No further explanation for the cancellation has been given, but it is understood to be related to a personal matter.
Jimmy Kimmel Live! is expected to return with new episodes next week.
