ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live Off Air Without Explanation

The long-running late-night show had been scheduled to feature actor David Duchovny, “Stranger Things” star Joe Keery, and singer Madison Beer, who broke the news herself hours before airtime.

“Due to unforeseen circumstances, @jimmykimmellive needed to reschedule my performance that was

originally scheduled to air tonight to a later date,” Beer posted on X at 6:33 p.m. ET.

ABC has not commented on the sudden cancellation, but the industry site LateNighter reported that the decision stemmed from “a personal matter.”

When viewers tuned in at 11:35 p.m When viewers tuned in at 11:35 p.m. ET, they were met not with Kimmel’s opening monologue but with a rerun from Oct. 28 — and widespread confusion.
