Jimmy Kimmel Live! unexpectedly canceled its planned Thursday night taping. The episode, originally featuring David Duchovny, Joe Keery, and musical guest Madison Beer, was pulled from the schedule.
Instead of a new episode, ABC aired a repeat of the October 28 broadcast.
“Due to unforeseen circumstances, @jimmykimmellive needed to reschedule my performance that was originally scheduled to air tonight to a later date,” Madison Beer wrote on social media, where her pre-recorded performance was teased.
While no official explanation has been provided, sources suggest the cancellation is related to a personal matter. New episodes are expected to resume next week.
