President Obama Will Not Appear On "Jimmy Kimmel Live" This Week

President Obama will not appear on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" this week, despite earlier reports.  



According to celebrity website TMZ, Obama was scheduled to tape a "special segment" at Kimmel's El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

A spokesperson for "Jimmy Kimmel Live" revealed that Obama is "not booked for the show" though would not clarify why Secret Service and other personnel had been prepping for Obama.

Obama, 52, and Kimmel, 46, previously appeared together on stage at the 2012 White House Correspondents' Dinner.

One reason for not dropping by Kimmel could be the President getting severe criticism for making an appearance on Kimmel's comedy show amid crises ranging from the MH17 disaster to the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
