“Due to unforeseen circumstances, @jimmykimmellive needed to reschedule my performance that was originally scheduled to air tonight to a later date.”
No official reason has been given for the cancellation. However, it is understood that a personal matter is involved.
The show plans to return with new episodes the following week.
