Late-night television has largely been without live audiences since the start of the pandemic, but the increasingly optimistic outlook in Los Angeles means that Jimmy Kimmel is hopeful his Hollywood-based show will be able to bring back crowds next month.
Kimmel, host, exec producer and writer of ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, said during a panel at Deadline’s Contenders Television awards-season event that he expects to be able to bring back audiences beginning June 15.
