Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert traded shows on Tuesday, with Colbert appearing as a guest on Kimmel’s show and vice versa.
Given that it was the first interview Kimmel has done since his show was “indefinitely suspended” and then reinstated a week later, Colbert was keen to know what happened on the day Kimmel found out. In the clip above, Kimmel breaks everything down step by step, from having to take a call from ABC in the bathroom (“the only private place to go” in his office) to his daughter telling him “I can sell my Labubus” after he broke the news to his family.
The wildest detail? After finding out about the suspension the staff had to stay back and pretend to be the audience for a performance from Howard Jones — who was playing his song “Things Can Only Get Better.”
