Jelly Roll is headed back to late-night TV!
The country music star is one of several stars tapped to guest-host “Jimmy Kimmel Live” as Jimmy Kimmel takes a two-month hiatus.
On Thursday’s episode of the ABC talk show, Kimmel revealed that he would be “taking the next two months off, this time voluntarily,” referring to the time his show was pulled by ABC over his comments regarding Charlie Kirk’s death last September.
“We have assembled a potent group of hosts to fill in for me,” the comedian, 58, told the audience.
“Beginning with Tiffany Haddish, Coleman Domingo, Ike Barinholtz, Anthony Anderson, Jelly Roll — and as a special treat for our commander-in-chief, I asked one of his all-time favorites Rosie O’Donnell to be here to keep the hooks coming,” Kimmel added.
Jelly — born Jason DeFord — previously guest-hosted “Jimmy Kimmel Live” for two episodes in July 2025.
The new gig came three days after news surfaced that the “Save Me” singer, 41, filed for divorce from wife Bunnie Xo, born Alisa Carter, in May after 10 years of marriage.
Jelly listed their date of separation as May 9 and cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their breakup, according to court documents Page Six obtained.
Movers were spotted outside of the former couple’s Tennessee residence last Monday.
Both Bunnie and Jelly broke their silence regarding the divorce.
The former sex worker, 46, revealed that she and her husband had a huge fight on Mother’s Day and she told the singer to “file the f–king divorce papers.”
She also said that their IVF journey had taken a toll on their marriage.
Though Bunnie confirmed Jelly is already dating again, she and the Grammy winner will continue to try to have a baby together.
Meanwhile, addressed the split during his Saratoga Springs, NY, stop of his Little ASS Shed Tour.
Jelly told the audience that he and the “Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic” host are “best friends.”
“We will always be best friends,” he added, noting that Bunnie will “probably be the only woman I will ever love the way I loved her.”

Keith Urban has shared his first message to ex-wife Nicole Kidman following their divorce.
The country music star took to social media on June 20 to share a 4-word message to the actress – who is the mother of his two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15.
Against a colorful backdrop, Keith wrote: “Happy birthday Nicole Mary,” showing that the pair were still on good terms. Nicole and Keith announced their separation in September 2025, and finalized their divorce in January 2026.
While Keith hasn’t spoken out about their divorce, Nicole has briefly touched upon it. In March, she made a rare public comment about how she was feeling in the aftermath of the separation. “I’m good. I’m holding steady,” she told The Age Australia. “That’s a good place to be able to say,” she added.

Discussing the breakdown of her marriage during an interview with Variety in March, Nicole noted that 2025 was a difficult year for her. “I was quiet. I had other things going on. I was in my shell.”
The award-winning actress was asked if she was doing okay following her split, to which she replied: “I am, because I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good.” She also noted that her family was and always will remain her number one priority. “What I’m grateful for is my family and keeping them as is and moving forward,” Nicole continued.
“That’s that. Everything else I don’t discuss out of respect. I’m staying in a place of ‘We are a family,’ and that’s what we’ll continue to be. My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women.”
Nicole and Keith’s divorce agreement specified that neither party would speak negatively about the other. All matters regarding their daughters will be decided jointly, and neither are paying the other spousal or child support. “They will not speak badly of each other or the members of the family of the other parent,” the marital dissolution agreement read. “They will encourage each child to continue to love the other parent and be comfortable in both families.”
Both Nicole and Keith are based in Nashville, although they both travel frequently for work. Talking to Variety in 2025, Nicole said: “We have our life here. I’m part of the city and community for 20 years. It’s my home.”
Now that they are older, Nicole and Keith’s daughters are stepping into the spotlight too. Their oldest, Sunday, has made a name for herself as a model, while Faith frequently appears on red carpets with her mom and older sister too. Nicole is also mom to grown-up children, Isabelle, 34, and Connor, 32, who she shares with ex-husband Tom Cruise.

Turns out, some people may not get enough credit when it comes to their silly, G-rated jokes.
There’s surprisingly complex science behind the humor of one of the corniest, pun-ishing and most cringeworthy categories of humor: dad jokes. In one study, published as a preprint (meaning it has not yet been peer-reviewed), researchers analyzed 32,000 dad jokes from a subreddit, r/dadjokes. They found that the funniest ones — as rated by Redditors — have a tried-and-true structure. The best tended to use puns, literalization — turning an idiom into reality — and pedantic humor to delight and torment children in equal measures.

Well, if you’re looking for something to fill the void in your life left by the departure of Willow’s Bay this week, look no further than a few scrolls over on Apple TV, which boasts a genuinely stunning amount of great content now.
The show is Sugar, led by Colin Farrell, who does not need to put 50 pounds of Penguin makeup on his face for the part, this time (well, once more for The Batman Part II). Sugar certainly was not one of Apple TV’s heaviest hitters or buzziest wins, but there really isn’t quite like it on TV, and now, season 2 has hit with a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes critic score. That’s up from the 81% of season 1, though reviews are still coming in.
Sugar is a noir-styled mystery, with season 1’s Farrell (Sugar) hired as a private detective to investigate the disappearance of a Hollywood producer’s granddaughter. Now, he’ll tackle a new case in season 2.
I’m going to have a non-spoiler section here, and a spoiler section after.
Non-Spoilers: It is genuinely hard to describe what makes Sugar unique without spoiling it, other than to say you have to see it to believe it, and you also need to be paying very, very careful attention as the episodes play out for a glimpse at what may be coming by the end. I promise that you don’t want me to get any more specific than that.

Spoilers: Well, season 2 is certainly going to be interesting, a big switch from the first, given that we know Sugar is an alien from the jump, rather than a big reveal to be found. He’s staying to help protect Earth from danger, and also other violent versions of his kind, as we saw at the end of last season. That was two years ago now, so it’s a bit fuzzy. I do remember distinctly Sugar saying he can’t get drunk because he metabolizes alcohol instantly and then deflecting a bullet with his watch.
I am probably not going to rate Sugar in Apple TV’s Top 10 list, at least not season 1, but that’s not a dig at the show, rather a reflection of just how enormously good so many of Apple TV’s shows are, past and present. But mostly present, honestly. So, so many of its best series are still ongoing, from Severance to Pluribus to Widow’s Bay to Shrinking to well, even Ted Lasso is coming back somehow. Apple is on fire, and a new 100% Rotten Tomatoes-scored season of a series starring an A-lister? Just what they need.
