WION ^ | 9-21-23 | Zeba Khan

First, it was the dual Hollywood strikes and now it is COVID-19 that is putting a pause on Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, and Stephen Colbert’s plans. The trio happen to be popular late-night show hosts and while their chat shows are currently not in production, they were supposed to do a Strike Force Three live event. It was announced recently by all three. The show currently stands cancelled as Jimmy Kimmel has tested positive for COVID-19.

In a statement on the X platform, Jimmy posted, “Well, Las Vegas, I got Covid, and sadly, we need to cancel this weekend’s Strike Force Three show. I could never live with myself if I got my hometown friends sick. Thanks to all who purchased tickets, everyone will get full refunds and we will try to reschedule if possible.”

Did Jimmy have the sniffles?

"OMG - I sniffled and had to blow my nose - gotta get a Covid test...."

Is there anything we can do to help the COVID win this fight?

And I really do hope he gets better. But I'm glad it messes up their big meeting of the unfunny.

I have an all-day work meeting downtown scheduled on Oct. 20 that I really don’t want to go to.

(We all work from home.)

What are the odds it will be moved to Teams due to Covid concerns?

Someone give me hope.

The “Strike Three” would actually have been clever. Explains why none of the mannequins came up with it.

Maybe you’ll get a case of the covids, so you won’t need to go. One can always hope.

Believe, it is tempting to just say I tested positive or that I was exposed and make HR stress about what kind of call to make on whether or not I should attend virtually.

Get some more boosters, Jimmy. (Boosters = good. More boosters = better.)

Oh, and be sure that you are up to date on your Monkeypox shots. And maybe one of those bivalent thingies and a flu shot, too.

Can't be too careful.

I imagine that is VERY tempting. Try to do the right thing.

Heck yeah.

If it was good enough for Grandma, it's good enough for Jimmy.

Karens, Chads, and EVERY OTHER HYPOCONDRIAC NUT CASE out there.

Testing Positive is the latest form of VIRTUE SIGNALING.

Don’t fall for the insane Fear Porn being spread by these INSANE PEOPLE!!!

Kabuki theater. LOL

And does anybody care about their live event?

People like Carson, Leno and Letterman (blecchhh) had regular audiences.

But do these guys? Do many people even pay attention to them?
