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.
