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, Rosie O’Donnell 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.
Meanwhile, this reps O’Donnell’s first time hosting “JKL.” Then there’s Jelly Roll, who’s back after also guest hosting “Jimmy Kimmel Live” for two episodes in July 2025.
Kimmel started employing guest hosts during the summer in 2020; others have included Chelsea Handler, Martin Short, Kumail Nanjiani, RuPaul, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman and more. In 2025, his guest hosts also included Diego Luna, Nicole Byer, Alan Cumming, Chris Distefano and Fortune Feimster.
“Jimmy Kimmel Live” airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET on ABC, streaming the next day on Hulu. Kimmel, Erin Irwin, Molly McNearney, Jennifer Sharron and David Craig are executive producers; Douglas DeLuca and Danny Ricker are co-executive producers. “Jimmy Kimmel Live” comes from 12:05 AM Productions LLC, in association with Kimmelot and 20th Television.
