After a week-long hiatus, Jimmy Kimmel was back at it on Monday night.
The late-night host took some time off to tend to his 6-month-old son, Billy, who was supposed to undergo heart surgery. Upon returning to Jimmy Kimmel Live, the father of four talked��to viewers during the show's monologue about the��procedure being postponed.
"Officially, I was off because my son Billy was supposed to have his next heart surgery, but we had to postpone it because we all had colds," he confessed before throwing in a little joke. "But the truth is, I was waiting in line for the new iPhone all week."
Kimmel, 49, added, "Anyway, my son is doing fine."
While he was away,��Shaquille O���Neal, Dave Grohl, Channing Tatum��and Jennifer Lawrence filled in as guest hosts on JKL. "I want to thank everyone who filled in for me," Kimmel continued. "Shaquille O���Neal, who I would like to thank twice --because he���s enormous."
The TV star also admitted that he was eager to get back to work, though he enjoyed spending time with wife Molly McNearney and their 3-year-old daughter, Jane, and Billy.�����It was good to have some time at home with the kids, but there is such a thing as too much time at home with the kids," he quipped. "Last night at abut six o���clock, I reached that time limit."
Kimmel's show was in good hands during his week off. When Lawrence guest hosted��on Thursday, she was able to have a pretty candid conversation with Kim Kardashian West.��
