Jimmy Kimmel becomes a grandfather after daughter gives birth to first child
Jimmy Kimmel has become a grandfather.
The 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' late show host, 57, has revealed he cancelled Monday's (20.05.25) episode because his eldest daughter Katie Kimmel, 33, had gone into labor, and has given birth to her first child.
Speaking on his show programme the following night, he said: "I am the host of the show. Thank you, thank you for coming, thank you for watching, thank you for joining us here in Hollywood.
"We are back to work after an extra day off. You know, we were supposed to have a show last night, but we didn't because my daughter [Katie] had a baby last night."
Katie - who Jimmy shares with ex-wife Gina, along with their 31-year-old son Kevin - and her husband Will Logson have welcomed a baby girl into the world.
Jamie also has daughter Jane, 10, and son Billy, eight, with his current wife Molly McNearney.
He quipped: "My oldest daughter – you know, people don't realise, people that know I have two little kids, they don't know I have to older kids.
"My oldest daughter, she's 83-years-old. Her name is Katie. Katie and her husband Will had a baby girl right at the time we shoot our show last night.
"So I decided to be there instead here."
Katie and Will secretly got married in September 2020 in Las Vegas during the COVID-19 pandemic, and had a second ceremony exactly one year later in front of their family and friends.
In 2021, Jimmy told 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show': "She actually turned 30 two weeks ago, which is strange to have a 30-year-old daughter.
"And she is getting married this weekend, as a matter of fact, which is a big deal."
However, after being congratulated by host Ellen, he jokingly pointed out he hasn't done anything to deserve the remarks.
He quipped: "People keep saying congratulations. I don't know what I'm being congratulated for.
"Congratulations on raising a human that is attractive enough to be taken by one person. It's not like we were trying to get rid of her, you know?
"It's not like we're selling a houseboat on eBay or something like that. But I guess congratulations is the thing."

After 60 years, even Mick Jagger can finally get some satisfaction
As rock anniversaries go, 60 years is quite the milestone. Consider what the world looked like on June 4, 1965, the day (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction was released by the Rolling Stones: humanity yet to set foot on the moon, communism ruling Eastern Europe, war escalating in Vietnam, and it would be two years until the Beatles released Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction turned the big 2-0 as then UK prime minister Margaret Thatcher stared down striking coalminers in 1985, and space shuttles orbited the planet, Uluru was handed back to traditional owners and MTV took over a generation. On its 40th anniversary, in the wake of September 11, the 'Axis of Evil', Iraq and Afghanistan, we spoke of the song on the internet (that's what we called it then) and wondered how the Rolling Stones' lead singer, Mick Jagger, could still do it. Could still do anything, really. A few years later, we shared clips – originals, live performances, tributes – using these new little phones we kept in our pockets that were 100,000 times more powerful than the computer that landed that spacecraft on the moon a generation earlier. And the world kept on changing, moving, relentlessly pushing forward: Trump, COVID, more Trump. But 60 years on – we're still singing the song and humming that riff.

Gillan Anderson: Sex scenes are never a joy
Gillian Anderson had admitted that sex scenes are "never a joy". The 56-year-old actress shares an intimate scene in a tent with co-star Jason Isaacs in her new movie 'The Salt Path' - based on the true story of couple Raynor and Moth Winn who embark on an epic walk in the UK after a bad health diagnosis and homelessness - and says such things are part and parcel of acting. Gillian told The Sun: "That is something you just expect as an actor. "That's part of what one does. I had an experience for many, many years working with the same actor every day. "I've also done sex scenes on the very first day of working, which is never a joy at any time during filming. "So you're thrown stuff all the time and just show whatever you're given." 'The X-Files' star added that it was straightforward to film the raunchy scenes with her "amenable" co-star Isaacs. She said: "Jason makes it very easy. He's very amenable, he's very likeable. "And certainly physically, we feel like we're the same language - certainly by the end. "We feel like our journey is baked into us, and we feel like we're part of the same conversation." Gillian explained that she became desperate to play Raynor after reading her book of the same name and being "profoundly affected" by the story. She recalled: "I read the book and I couldn't speak for days. I was really profoundly affected by it. I think I might have threatened them with an inch of their lives to hire me!" Gillian explained that starring in the movie has changed her thoughts on homelessness. The 'Sex Education' actress told the i paper: "It haunted me in a way that I think was good. "In America, you would stop at a light, and two or three people might surround the car and wash your windscreen and then ask for money, which I'd never seen happen here (in the UK) before. Post Covid, suddenly that was happening. "It was an opportunity to change how I thought about it, period. And to have more compassion and understanding. It's fascinating to observe in oneself the different emotions that come up as a result of being face-to-face with it."
