‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ Reveals Summer Guest Hosts Including Rosie O’Donnell, As Matt Damon Crashes Show In A Trojan Horse

On his last show before his traditional summer break, Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday night announced the celebs who will fill in for him as guest hosts of Jimmy Kimmel Live! over the next couple of months.

Tiffany Haddish will kick things off, hosting the week of July 6. She’ll be followed throughout the summer by Anthony Anderson, Ike Barinholtz, Colman Domingo, Jelly Roll and “as a special treat for our commander in chief, I asked one of his all-time favorites — Rosie O’Donnell, to be here to keep the hits coming,” Kimmel announced. In addition to Kimmel’s ongoing war of words with Trump, it’s no secret that Trump and O’Donnell have been embroiled in a decades-long feud. After Trump’s re-election in 2024, O’Donnell moved to Ireland with her youngest child – a decision she said she made “to protect her child’s well-being and her own mental health.”

And the last night before Kimmel heads off on his two-month-long break would not be complete without a Matt Damon sighting. The star of upcoming The Odyssey arrived in a literal Trojan horse to sneak onto the stage.

“I have traveled far and wide, through waves and war, to save this audience from mediocrity,” Damon announced as he emerged from the horse.

“This is trespassing,” Kimmel said. “This is another crime you’ve committed here.”

“Your face is a crime,” Damon replied. Damon told the audience he was there to promote his upcoming film, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, which bows on July 17.
