Comedian Tiffany Haddish, who guest hosted “Jimmy Kimmel Live” for the first time last year, is back to kick off this summer’s fill-ins as Kimmel takes his annual summer break. Haddish will host the week of July 6.
Kimmel is wrapping his final “Jimmy Kimmel Live” telecast on Thursday before going on vacation; the summertime guest host roster has become a tradition for the show. Also lined up to guest after Haddish: Anthony Anderson, Ike Barinholtz, Colman Domingo and Jelly Roll. (“Jimmy Kimmel Live” will go into repeats until after the July 4 holiday).
Anderson, of course, is the most frequent guest host on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” having already done 24 episodes over the years. He’s been a longtime friend if Kimmel’s and the show’s, as both a guest on the couch — and even as a regular on Kimmel’s “Live in Front of a Studio Audience” specials.
As for Barinholtz, this reps his first time guest hosting “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” He is also a frequest guest, and famously in 2024 won the top $1 million prize, along with his dad Alan Barinholtz, on the Kimmel-hosted “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.” (Barinholtz’s talk show credentials also extend to the 2019 film “Late Night”).
As Kimmel previously announced on his show, Domingo will host “JKL” for the first time during the week of July 20. Domingo hosted an episode of “SNL” in April, and also hosted his own talk show, “Bottomless Brunch at Colman’s,” for AMC.
