Jimmy Kimmel is having a great week! He started it off on Mondayby becoming a first-time grandfather. Today, Variety is reporting that he is joining the Smurfs movie.
He is not the only late night host who will be in the animated feature; James Corden is also lending his voice to the film. They will be joined by John Goodman, James Corden, Nick Offerman, JP Karliak, Daniel Levy, Amy Sedaris, Natasha Lyonne, Sandra Oh, Octavia Spencer, Nick Kroll, Hannah Waddingham, Alex Winter, Maya Erskine, Billie Lourd, Xolo Maridueña, Kurt Russell, and DJ Marshmello in Smurf Village.
Smurfs follows Smurfette as she leads her tiny, blue-skinned kin into the real world to save Papa Smurf after he’s mysteriously captured by evil wizards.
Jimmy Kimmel now has something that differentiates him from the other late night hosts: he is a grandfather!
On Monday, he took the night off from Jimmy Kimmel Live, and a lot of people thought it was because he was going to interview Jake Tapper, due to his shitty alleged revenge book on Joe Biden.
However, that was not why. It was because his daughter, Katie, and her husband, Will Logsdon, needed him. She gave birth to his first grandchild.
His granddaughter’s name is Patti Joan, her middle name is after his mom, Joan.
Kimmel is now trying to figure out ways he can embarrass her because he realized during his monologue, pop pops don’t do much but that!

On Sunday, the dumb ass Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame announced their 2025 inductees, and nominee Billy Idol was not on the list.
Yesterday, when he was on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host asked him about it. “A lot of people, you don’t get in on your first time,” he said. “So, it is not the end of the world. I have a great album out. I’ve got a documentary coming out this year.” Outkast, The White Stripes, and Soundgarden can’t say that.
I have to admit that Idol is taking the pass over better than I am. That is why he has been rocking for almost 50 years and influencing the next generation of Rockers!
He cringed as he slowly put on his one pair of frozen leather pants that the label gave him for the Rebel Yell tour, so they could have multiple pairs.
Before Meghann Fahy had a bad first date in Drop, she met her perfect match in The Lost Valentine. How beautiful was the 20-year-old in that 2011 telemovie?
To hear what she told Jimmy Kimmel, what she learned from the legendary Betty White when they worked on that Hallmark film, then click here!
