On Thursday\u2019s episode of the ABC talk show, Kimmel revealed that he would be \u201ctaking the next two months off, this time voluntarily,\u201d referring to the time his show was\u00a0pulled by ABC\u00a0over his comments regarding Charlie Kirk\u2019s death last September.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have assembled a potent group of hosts to fill in for me,\u201d the comedian, 58, told the audience.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeginning with Tiffany Haddish, Coleman Domingo, Ike Barinholtz, Anthony Anderson, Jelly Roll \u2014 and as a special treat for our commander-in-chief, I asked one of his all-time favorites Rosie O\u2019Donnell to be here to keep the hooks coming,\u201d Kimmel added.<\/p>\n

Jelly \u2014 born Jason DeFord \u2014 previously guest-hosted \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live\u201d for two episodes in July 2025.<\/p>\n

The new gig came three days after news surfaced that the \u201cSave Me\u201d singer, 41, filed for divorce from wife Bunnie Xo, born Alisa Carter, in May after 10 years of marriage. <\/p>\n

Jelly listed their date of separation as May 9 and\u00a0cited \u201cirreconcilable differences\u201d\u00a0as the reason for their breakup, according to court documents Page Six obtained.<\/p>\n

Both Bunnie and Jelly broke their silence regarding the divorce. <\/p>\n

The former sex worker, 46, revealed that she and her husband had a huge fight on Mother\u2019s Day and she told the singer to \u201cfile the f\u2013king divorce papers.\u201d<\/p>\n

She also said that their IVF journey had taken a toll on their marriage.<\/p>\n
