ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” is reportedly reducing the number of musical guest performances it features on the show this year, per multiple outlets.
The news was first shared by The Hollywood Reporter on Monday, which reported that the show looked to cut down to just two performances a week.
Deadline reported that the number of performances would go down to “around two,” but it was “not a hard number,” as episodes haven’t always featured musical guests. Variety indicated that the number was “more likely to vary.”
The reason for the reduction is unclear. Variety speculated that “it seems likely that budget considerations played a role.”
HuffPost has reached out to representatives for ABC and “Live!” for comment.
