\n\tOn his last show before his traditional summer break, Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> on Thursday night announced the celebs who will fill in for him as guest hosts of Jimmy Kimmel Live<\/a>! over the next couple of months. <\/p>\n

\n\tTiffany Haddish will kick things off, hosting the week of July 6. She\u2019ll be followed throughout the summer by Anthony Anderson, Ike Barinholtz, Colman Domingo, Jelly Roll and \u201cas a special treat for our commander in chief, I asked one of his all-time favorites \u2014 Rosie O\u2019Donnell, to be here to keep the hits coming,\u201d Kimmel announced. In addition to Kimmel\u2019s ongoing war of words with Trump, it\u2019s no secret that Trump and O\u2019Donnell have been embroiled in a decades-long feud. After Trump\u2019s re-election in 2024, O\u2019Donnell moved to Ireland with her youngest child \u2013 a decision she said she made \u201cto protect her child\u2019s well-being and her own mental health.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tAnd the last night before Kimmel heads off on his two-month-long break would not be complete without a Matt Damon<\/a> sighting. The star of upcoming The Odyssey arrived in a literal Trojan horse to sneak onto the stage.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI have traveled far and wide, through waves and war, to save this audience from mediocrity,\u201d Damon announced as he emerged from the horse.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis is trespassing,\u201d Kimmel said. \u201cThis is another crime you\u2019ve committed here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYour face is a crime,\u201d Damon replied. Damon told the audience he was there to promote his upcoming film, Christopher Nolan\u2019s The Odyssey, which bows on July 17.<\/p>\n
