AceShowbiz - Jimmy Kimmel is taking a break from TV during this summer. The late night TV host made the announcement in the Thursday, June 18 episode of his show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", saying that Friday would mark the beginning of his summer break.
"Tonight is my last new show of the summer. I'm taking the summer off to spend even more time with my family. I've been doing this job for almost 18 years, I've done 3,130 shows and there's nothing wrong my family is healthy. I'm healthy. I just need a couple of months off," Jimmy shared.
"While I'm gone, a cavalcade of capable people will be filling in for me," the 52-year-old TV personality added. That was when his frenemy Matt Damon surprisingly emerged from a bedroom in Kimmel's house wearing a robe and a mask, drink in hand.
Not being happy with the fact that Jimmy's taking time off, "The Martian" actor said, "What am I gonna do? I haven't been on (the show). I've been back here three months waiting to get on," referring to their long-running gag of Matt waiting to get onto "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" every night.
They continued their funny back-and-forth before Jimmy was baffled when he saw his wife Molly slipping out of the guest room in a robe. "Son of a b***h, you did it again," Jimmy yelled at Matt.
It remains to be seen how Jimmy is going to spend his break but he's already has some gigs lined up when he's back from his summer break. Recently, he was announced to be the host of the 2020 Emmy Awards in September.
"I don't know where we will do this or how we will do this or even why we are doing this, but we are doing it and I am hosting it," Jimmy said in a statement considering the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to serve as the host, the "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" host is tapped to be an executive producer.
