Hugh Jackman, Martin Short, Ryan Reynolds, Anthony Anderson Among Jimmy Kimmel Summer Guest Hosts

Share

Jimmy Kimmel is taking the summer off, as usual. Who can blame him?

But the show must go on! And so it will with nine guest hosts filling in a week at a time.

The order is:

Martin Short, Anthony Anderson, Kathryn Hahn, Kumail Nanjiani, Lamorne Morris, Jeff Goldblum, RuPaul, and Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.

This starts on Monday. Martin Short’s guests next week will include his “Only Murders” co-stars Steve Martin and Selena Gomez, plus Melissa McCarthy, Sienna Miller, Jelly Roll, and Beck, with musical performances by Imagine Dragons, Jelly Roll, Beck, and The Warning.

No mention of Meryl Streep, his close pal and maybe sometime girlfriend. That would be fun since she rarely does talk shows!

We will miss Jimmy, especially during the political conventions. Maybe he can drop by from time to time, but he’ll probably be somewhere exotic having a great time!
