Jimmy began taking the summers off from the show in 2020 during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

He continued the tradition thereafter to spend more time with his family.<\/p>\n

This is the first extended break Jimmy has voluntarily taken since ABC\u00a0abruptly pulled his show<\/a>\u00a0from the air in September.<\/p>\n

The late-night program was temporarily taken off the air after Jimmy made some ill-received comments about conservative activist Charlie Kirk\u2019s death during his opening monologue.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0has also\u00a0repeatedly vowed to cancel<\/a>\u00a0the show due to Jimmy\u2019s regular criticism of his politics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
