SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) – Jimmy Kimmel announced Thursday he is taking a break from hosting his late-night talk show.
Kimmel announced Thursday he will be stepping away from “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” starting July 6 and his departure will last all the way through September when he hosts the Emmys, according to a report from Variety.
In his absence, there will be guest hosts taking over the show.
Kimmel said he plans to spend more time with his family.
“There’s nothing wrong, I’m healthy, my family’s healthy, I just need a couple of months off,” Kimmel said.
This isn’t the first time Kimmel has stepped away from his show.
The last time he did so was back in 2017, when his son was born with a congenital disease and had to go through several open-heart surgeries.
