Jimmy Kimmel has tested positive for COVID-19 again.

Not long after recovering from his early May diagnosis, Kimmel revealed on Twitter Tuesday that he's once again testing positive. Because of this, he is tapping John Mulaney and Andy Samberg to guest host Jimmy Kimmel Live! in his place.

"I'm such a positive person, I tested positive AGAIN. I am feeling fine," he said. "The great John @Mulaney & Andy Samberg @TheLonelyIsland have graciously agreed to host @JimmyKimmelLive for me tomorrow."

Kimmel, 54, disclosed his initial COVID-19 diagnosis on Twitter and Instagram on May 2. At the time, he said comedian Mike Birbiglia would host in his absence.

"Our daughter brought us covid (even though we specifically asked her not to)," Kimmel joked.

1. Shit, get better Jimmy...we need you

2. Wonder if

he took Paxlovid. I keep hearing and reading how people take it and they get over it, but within a few days it comes back. Wonder if that’s what happened to Colbert too. Thought he said he got better, then got worse again and had Covid pneumonia. I think those pills aren’t working out so well.

5. My sister and her husband took it a few weeks ago and it has worked for them.

4. Didn't Stephen Colbert also have his Covid go away

for a week then come back big time? Is this what the latest variant does? I just got my 8 free Covid tests in the mail already (ordered them 2 days ago).
