Jimmy Kimmel is a grandfather!
On Tuesday night (May 20), the 57-year-old late-night talk show returned to hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! after canceling the show the night before.
In his opening monologue, Jimmy explained that he canceled the previous night’s show because his 33-year-old daughter Katie Kimmel gave birth to her first child with husband Will Logsdon.

Thank you, thank you for coming, thank you for watching, thank you for joining us here in Hollywood,” Jimmy started the episode. “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 had a baby last night.”
“My oldest daughter – you know, people don’t realize, people that know I have two little kids, they don’t know I have to older kids,” he continued. “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.”
“The baby’s very healthy. Her name, they gave her a very cute name. Her name is Melania,” Jimmy joked. “It’s Melanie Thee Stallion…her name is Patti. Like the melt, but with an ‘I’ not a ‘Y.’”
He later added that Patti‘s middle name is Joan, which is his mother’s name.
Jimmy shares Katie and son Kevin, 31, with ex-wife Gina Maddy, whom he was married to from 1988 to 2003. In 2013, he married wife Molly McNearney and they share daughter Jane, 10, and son Billy, 8.
Katie and Will got married in September 2020.
Congrats to the new parents!
