Jimmy Kimmel Names Tiffany Haddish, Coleman Domingo, Ike Barinholtz, Anthony Anderson, Jelly Roll and Rosie O'Donnell as Guest Hosts During

Jimmy Kimmel announced on the June 18, 2026 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live that he is taking the next two months off voluntarily. The comedian, 58, said the break follows the show's prior removal by ABC over his comments about Charlie Kirk's death in September 2025.

Kimmel named the guest hosts who will fill in: Tiffany Haddish, Coleman Domingo, Ike Barinholtz, Anthony Anderson, Jelly Roll and Rosie O'Donnell.

Jelly Roll, born Jason DeFord and age 41, is one of the scheduled guest hosts. He previously guest-hosted Jimmy Kimmel Live for two episodes in July 2025. Three days before Kimmel's announcement, news surfaced that Jelly Roll had filed for divorce from wife Bunnie Xo, born Alisa Carter, in May 2026 after 10 years of marriage.

Court documents list the date of separation as May 9, 2026 and cite irreconcilable differences. Movers were observed outside the couple's former Tennessee residence on June 15, 2026. Bunnie Xo, age 46, stated that she and Jelly Roll had a large fight on Mother's Day 2026 and she told him to file the divorce papers.

Bunnie Xo said their IVF journey had taken a toll on the marriage. She confirmed that Jelly Roll is already dating again but stated that she and Jelly Roll will continue to attempt to have a baby together after the divorce. Jelly Roll addressed the split during a performance on his Little ASS Shed Tour in Saratoga Springs, NY.

He told the audience that he and Bunnie Xo are best friends and that she will probably be the only woman he will ever love the way he loved her. He also stated that infidelity did not lead to the couple's breakup.
