Late Night

Jimmy Kimmel got choked up during the opening monologue of his late-night show, telling his audience it was "terrible" that Donald Trump beat Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.

The comedian came out onstage Wednesday evening for "Jimmy Kimmel Live" one day after Trump beat Harris at the polls, delivering a somber speech that nearly made Jimmy cry.

Jimmy said it was a "terrible night for women, for children, for hundreds of thousands of hard-working immigrants," briefly pausing to fight back tears.

Move over, Jimmy Kimmel ... Jason Kelce might be about to take up residence in the late-night space -- he's reportedly in talks with ESPN about hosting his own show.

John Ourand of Puck reported Thursday that ESPN honcho Jimmy Pitaro is looking to widen the network's reach -- and part of the plan to accomplish that feat could include an after-hours program starring Kelce.

Unclear if it'd be in the traditional style -- one where a host (like Kimmel) brings in various celebs and athletes to talk about life and upcoming projects in a fun Q-and-A fashion -- although Ourand stated at the very least it "wouldn't be a highlight or recap show."

Kamala Harris on Tuesday night leaned into the old adage that you want to elect someone you can have a beer with -- and she did exactly that with Stephen Colbert.

The Vice President sat down with Colbert on "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" and the two discussed her campaign to become the next president of the United States with under a month left in her race against the Republican nominee, Donald Trump.

Colbert kicked things off, pointing out that ever since Kamala named Tim Walz as her VP pick everyone has been calling it the "vibe election."

Diddy and Justin Bieber are seen together in a resurfaced 2011 video ... and their little hangout sesh on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" will totally shock you.

Check out the clip from February 2011 ... Diddy was sporting dark shades and sitting side by side with the much younger Biebs, with host Jimmy Kimmel parked behind his desk, chatting with the famous duo.

The convo started off with Jimmy asking Diddy and Justin what their relationship was about and if they were collaborating on music.

Lady Gaga is talking openly about her relationship with fiancé Michael Polansky — and you might just be surprised how he proposed to her.

Gaga sat down Tuesday with host Jimmy Kimmel on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" to promote her new film, "Joker: Folie à Deux," but she also discussed her engagement to Polansky.

Jimmy was first to bring up the subject, prompting Gaga to reveal Michael — a tech entrepreneur -- proposed to her after her birthday in March.

"Live From New York ... It's Saturday Night!"

It's been nearly 50 fabulous years of legendary comedians and actors hitting the Studio 8H stage at 30 Rockefeller Plaza -- making their stage presence known and providing laughs to millions around the world -- on the sketch comedy series "Saturday Night Live".

As the hit show gears up for its 50th season, we're celebrating stars like Will Ferrell, Eddie Murphy and Maya Rudolph ... all of whom got their big break taking on the "SNL" stage, and their careers have since soared into superstardom.

Dating back to the very first episode which premiered on October 11, 1975 ... Host George Carlin emerged on the scene, delivered a stellar monologue and showcased musical guests Billy Preston and Janis Ian.

Halle Berry has made a shocking revelation ... She had a chance to date the late great Prince, but she surprisingly gave him the cold shoulder.

Halle was a guest on Monday's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" show hosted by Jimmy Kimmel when she divulged her juicy anecdote about Prince.

Jimmy kicked things off by asking Halle if Michael Jackson had directed Babyface to inquire whether she would go out with MJ.

An old clip of Diddy advising Conan O'Brien on how to how to lock women up at parties has reemerged — and, as you might imagine, the video isn't aging well.

Diddy sat down with the host of "Late Night With Conan O'Brien" back in 2002 ... and the two talked all about the music mogul's killer soirees.

Conan was first to bring up the topic — joking that he personally throws on Paul Anka's music at his parties and breaks out the "Cheez Whiz," but no one comes by.

David Letterman is proud to do his civic duty ... saying he's "excited" about it as he made his way to court after being summoned for jury duty in New York.

We caught up with the late-night legend just as he walked into the courthouse, where he called jury duty "a great process to be a part of" ... clearly taking the summons in stride, where most people would be complaining.

However, Letterman stayed tight-lipped about whether he had already been selected as a juror ... noting he'd have to continue reporting "until Labor Day."

Leonardo DiCaprio had a titanically good time in NYC this weekend ... clubbing and chatting with a woman who looks like his girlfriend.

The actor hit a club in the Big Apple ... customary baseball cap pulled low over his eyes -- though he went sans facemask while on the dancefloor at least.

Leo's chatting up a lady in these vids ... and, though it's hard to tell who it is, it very well could be his GF, Vittoria Ceretti.

Lily Allen says James Corden used to be very friendly with her before he hit the big time -- so much so, in fact, that he came off as a little desperate ... according to her anyway.

The British singer opened up about her history with James on her "Miss Me?" podcast ... claiming the comedian used to beg to hang out with her and her friends back in the day.

Lily says it all started when James came on her old chat show way back in 2008 ... in her recollection, James was super flirty and they kinda became loose friends.

Howie Mandel says he's feeling vindicated about being a germaphobe in light of a worldwide rise in penis cancer caused in part by poor hygiene ... 'cause his shaft is clean as a whistle.

We got Howie outside Jimmy Kimmel's late-night talk show set in Hollywood and our photog asked him about the surge in penile cancer cases happening around the world ... seeing as he's well known for his aversion to germs.

Howie says there's two things he never does ... shake hands, and shake penises!!! 😂

President Biden ain't throwing in the towel just yet -- 'cause top-level Dems are throwing another big fundraiser for him in the near future ... and David Letterman's going.

The news just came down from AP -- which says Hawaii Gov. Josh Green is hosting the shindig for Joe on July 29 out in Martha's Vineyard ... where they'll be hanging out at a private home that apparently belongs to a friend of Green's.

In terms of DL's involvement ... word is, he's set to headline the get-together -- so, in other words, he'll be the talent ... and probably moderate things as the emcee.

Jimmy Fallon crapped on President Joe Biden in his opening monologue -- cracking jokes about the Prez's COVID news ... and questioning if Round 2 in the Oval Office is in store.

The 'Tonight Show' host made some jokes at JB's expense on Thursday's episode -- saying POTUS was lucky he couldn't spread his diagnosis ... especially since Democrats had already been distancing themselves from him after that debate debacle with Trump.

JF didn't stop there ... adding, "Thankfully, Biden is expected to make a full recovery, and his doctor said that he'll be back to 60% in no time." Obviously, he's referring to questions about Joe's cognitive abilities for a second term.

Pride Month's almost over, but some celebs are still finding ways to celebrate ... with one former late-night host coming out before June turns to July!

Amber Ruffin -- a writer on "Late Night with Seth Meyers" who hosted her own program "The Amber Ruffin Show" on Peacock -- came out in an Instagram post Sunday in a move she wrote won't shock a single damn person.

Alongside a pic of her in a tank top baring the word "Queer," she added the caption, "I’m using the last day of PRIDE to come out! Be proud of who you are, little babies! I know I am! And I can’t wait to be discriminated against for a new reason!!"
