"Jimmy Kimmel Live!" welcomes Diego Luna, Anthony Anderson, Nicole Byer, Alan Cumming, Kumail Nanjiani, Jelly Roll and more.
LOS ANGELES -- It's summer, which means Jimmy Kimmel is "spending the bulk of (his) summer at the Newark airport," as he put it in his Thursday show.
With Kimmel heading off on summer break, "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" welcomes a star-studded slate of guest hosts beginning Monday, June 23. "Andor" star Diego Luna will kick off hosting duties that week. He will be followed by Anthony Anderson, Nicole Byer, Alan Cumming, Chris Distefano, Fortune Feimster, Kumail Nanjiani and Jelly Roll as additional guest hosts.
"The only slot we haven't filled yet is next week, and I'm leaving one way or another," Kimmel joked, before Luna joined him from the studio audience for a "swearing in" ceremony, which went as follows:
K: "I, Diego Luna"
