However, her appearance has been postponed and will be rescheduled for a later date. Though the VP did end up flying back into LA from her quick trip to Las Vegas today, and not going to DC, no reason for Harris’ absence from the ABC late nighter was given.

However, the White House has announced that the Vice President “will participate in a campaign event” later in the day on Tuesday. Kimmel usually films that night’s show in the late afternoon — which is around the same time the Veep’s campaign event appears to be occurring.

If Harris had appeared on Kimmel on Tuesday, it would have been her second appearance on the ABC show. The past California Senator previously sat down with Kimmel’s in March 2019, when she was running for the Presidency.

During the 2020 election, Harris appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and in 2022 made her first late-night appearance since becoming VP on Late Night with Seth Meyers. She dropped by Colbert last year too.

Jimmy Kimmel Live! is currently in its 22nd season. Broadcasting from the El Capitan Entertainment Centre on Hollywood Boulevard, it is exec produced by Kimmel, Erin Irwin, Molly McNearney, Jennifer Sharron and David Craig. It is produced by 12:05 AM Productions in association with Kimmelot and ABC Signature.
