The scheduled taping of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Thursday was unexpectedly postponed and viewers were instead shown an episode from October 28, according to reports.

In Los Angeles, the episode initially set for Thursday, November 6, was delayed because of what has been described as a “personal matter” involving host Jimmy Kimmel.

The news of the postponement was first brought to light by Deadline, though they did not provide any further specifics.

Madison Beer, who was supposed to perform as the musical guest, addressed fans in a post that has since expired, explaining the change in schedule.

“Due to unforeseen circumstances, Jimmy Kimmel Live had to reschedule my performance that was originally planned for tonight,” she shared. “I’ll update you with new details as soon as I can. I’m looking forward to showing you all the performance.”

Thursday’s episode was meant to feature “Stranger Things” star and musician Joe Keery and “Malice” and “The X Files” star David Duchovny before being postponed, according to People. 

A rerun of “Jimmy Kimmel Live’s” Oct. 28 episode took Thursday night’s time slot.

ABC and Kimmel have not announced when the postponed episode will be filmed and eventually air, but Deadline reported attendees for the Nov. 6 showing would get tickets for a future taping at the El Capitan Theater in Los Angeles, California. 

There are episodes planned for the week of Nov. 10, with all but Friday, Nov. 14 being planned with guests, according to ABC’s scheduling website. Guests include George Clooney, Mike Tyson, Eddie Murphy, Jason Bateman and Mr. T among others. Plans and guests are subject to change. 

No other information is known at this time. Kimmel and ABC have not yet publicly commented about Thursday’s postponed episode.
