Jimmy Kimmel Live is set to return to filming after a week-long pause due to the devastating wildfires sweeping through Los Angeles. The show had halted production on January 8 when the fires, which destroyed properties in areas like Palisades, Malibu, and Altadena, prompted safety concerns for the cast and crew. Filming is expected to resume on January 13.
Other shows, including After Midnight hosted by Taylor Tomlinson and The Price Is Right hosted by Drew Carey, also suspended their shoots because of the ongoing fires. These shows will remain on hold until the situation improves and the fires are brought under control.
The fires, which began on Tuesday due to strong winds, have caused widespread destruction and prompted evacuation efforts in affected areas. Local authorities have issued high alerts for Los Angeles County and surrounding regions, as the fires are predicted to continue spreading across other parts of California.
Filming for Jimmy Kimmel Live takes place at the El Capitan studios, while After Midnight and The Price Is Right are shot at the Havens Studios in Glendale. Despite the challenges, the shows are taking steps to resume safely once the situation stabilizes.
