Jimmy Kimmel’s rarely seen dad, James Kimmel, made a surprise appearance during his opening monologue on Thursday.
The late night host — whose Jimmy Kimmel Live! show is back on air after a brief suspension over his comments on the assassination of Charlie Kirk — discussed the AI videos that were made of him during his brief hiatus.
Among the fake videos was one of his pretend enemy, Matt Damon, sharing words in support of Kimmel and stating, ‘Even when his father passed away, he didn’t stop working.’
‘Wait, my father passed away? What a way to find out,’ Kimmel quipped, before turning to his dad, 79, in the audience and asking, ‘Dad, did you know this? Did you know you’re dead?’
His dad humorously replied, ‘I’m shocked. I think am going to pass away from what I heard.’
‘You will be missed,’ Kimmel — who spent the rest of his monologue roasting President Donald Trump — joked.
Jimmy Kimmel’s, 57, rarely seen dad, James Kimmel, 79, made a surprise appearance during his opening monologue on Thursday
The host brought his dad to the show after AI videos claimed he had died during Kimmel’s recent brief suspension
The bit started out with Kimmel telling the audience: ‘One of the weirdest things that happened while we were off the air was there were a flood of fake AI videos designed to look like real recordings of me.’

He then played a fake video of Damon sharing words of support.
‘I’m really sad that I can’t be Jimmy’s last guest. He is the funniest talk show host in my book.’
‘I’ve known Jimmy for over 20 years, and people love to talk about our feud, but we actually get along great offscreen. We just play enemies on cameras for laughs,’ the fake Damon went on.
‘In 2013, he even invited me to his wedding. He really values our friendship. I know Jimmy is dedicated. He put everything into his show. Even when his father passed away, he didn’t stop working.’
The video wrapped up with Damon’s AI voice stating: ‘I don’t think ABC should treat Jimmy like this. If a talk show host can’t speak freely, then they have no value.’
Kimmel also played a fake recording of his own voice over a video compilation: ‘And please, don’t worry about me being permanently taken off the air or even completely rejected by the platform, I will respect their decision, but I will not let it completely defeat me. Taking risks is part of the consequence, and I will accept it. Goodbye, my audience.’
‘That is how I will do it on my last show. I will say, “Goodbye, my audience,”‘ the real Kimmel joked.

His dad humorously replied, ‘I’m shocked. I think am going to pass away from what I heard’
Kimmel also played a fake recording of his own voice over a video compilation where he said ‘Goodbye, my audience’ in a dramatic parting
He then played an AI video of his sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez saying, ‘You know what is scarier than canceling the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” is people voting calling Jimmy a talentless clown with no compassion’
He then played an AI video of his sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez saying, ‘No matter how others try to tear Jimmy down, I’ll always stand by him. You know what is scarier than canceling the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” is people voting calling Jimmy a talentless clown with no compassion.’
The host replied, ‘No one accused me of being a talentless clown with no compassion. Why would you even say that? Has AI been reading your diary?’
It comes after Jimmy endured a bit of ridicule after revealing his mother, Joann Iacono, had been ‘relentlessly’ making food for him during his show’s week-long suspension.
Kimmel was booted off the air last week over his comments about conservative political activist Charlie’s assassination at age 31.
But the comedian was not without any sustenance during the limbo, with Kimmel revealing his mother had been cooking practically non-stop for him.
Kimmel received a plate of homemade pasta by actress Lisa Ann Walter on Wednesday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! as he had been ‘out of work for a few days’, prompting him to share how his mother had been caring for him during the ordeal.
‘My mom relentlessly kept making, she’s like, “Can I bring over some pasta e fagioli? Can I make…” She brought cookies with my face on them to the show last night,’ he explained.
The revelation sparked some teasing, with one writing on X: ‘Is Kimmel 7 years old? What a jerk.’

Another wrote: ‘He’s a crybaby that ran to his mommy after a 3 day suspension. Hope she changed his diaper.’
One posted: ‘it was less than a week, come on now.’
‘Ah, I got a boo-boo, mommy. Make it better lol…’ another wrote in the comments section of a news article about his revelation.
‘Jimmy’s a big boy now. Hard to believe he can’t cope, being he is set for life moneywise,’ one chimed in.
Kimmel’s show was suspended by ABC following comments he made about Kirk’s alleged assassin last week but has since been reinstated.
However, Sinclair and Nexstar stations, which make up about a third of ABC’s affiliates, will not be showing the program.
Kimmel’s comments that sparked the entire controversy saw him say ‘the MAGA gang’ was attempting to portray the suspect in Kirk’s killing ‘as anything other than one of them’.
Kirk was fatally shot as he spoke to a crowd at a university in Utah on September 10. Tyler Robinson, 22, has been accused of murdering the conservative activist and is now facing seven counts, including a capital murder charge, over the killing.
ABC’s parent company, Disney, announced that it had suspended the show to ‘avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotionally charged moment for the country’.
But, after ‘having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy,’ the company announced Jimmy Kimmel Live! would return to its airwaves on Tuesday.
Kimmel’s parents Joan and James were present for the show’s big return, and an audience member in attendance witnessed Joan shed a few tears.
‘I saw her wiping her eyes several times,’ audience member Leesa Bates, who sat next to Kimmel’s parents during the show, told People.

Kimmel’s return to late night following his suspension saw his ratings triple and reach his largest audience in over a decade.
Tuesday’s episode drew 6.26 million viewers to ABC. Typically, Kimmel gets about 1.8 million viewers each night on television. The numbers released by ABC do not include viewership from streaming services.
The network also noted that Kimmel’s emotional, 20-minute monologue has been viewed over 25 million times on social media.
Kimmel fought back tears as he tried to explain his statement on Kirk in his first show back on ABC since he was suspended over his comments about the late TPUSA founder.
The host previously insinuated that Kirk’s alleged shooter was a conservative, even though evidence indicates he held far-left ideologies.
‘It was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man,’ he said, fighting back tears. ‘I don’t think there’s anything funny about it.’
He referenced his post on Instagram sending love to Kirk’s family and said he still does.
He then tried to explain what he said about Kirk but did not directly apologize.
He said it was not ‘my intention to blame any specific group for the actions what – it was obviously a deeply disturbed individual,’ he said.
‘That was really in the opposite of the point I was trying to make, but I understand that to some that felt either ill-timed or unclear, or maybe both. And for those who think I did point a finger, I get why you’re upset. If the situation was reversed, there’s a good chance I’d have felt the same way.’

Kimmel also praised Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, for forgiving alleged shooter Robinson at her husband’s funeral on Sunday.
‘She forgave him. That is an example we should follow,’ he said to applause.
‘If you believe in the teachings of Jesus, as I do, that’s it. A selfless act of grace, forgiveness from a grieving widow. It touched me deeply, I hope it touches many,’ he said, amid more tears.
‘And if there’s anything we can take from this tragedy to carry forward, it can be that and not this,’ he added, referencing the controversy.
