The episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live scheduled to air on Thursday, featuring David Duchovny from Malice, Joe Keery from Stranger Things, and musical guest Madison Beer, was postponed due to a "personal matter" involving the host.

Details of the Postponement

ABC did not provide specific reasons for the cancellation. Fans who were planning to attend the taping at the El Capitan Theatre received a notification that the show was postponed and were promised tickets to a future recording.
