‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ To Reduce Volume Of Musical Artists Each Week

Posted on by
Reply

The volume of musical guests on late-night television is set to decrease again in 2026, following news that *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* (JKL) will be reducing its number of performance slots. Deadline has confirmed that the show plans to cut the number of musical performances each week to around two.

While this figure is not fixed and the show has not always featured a musical performance in every episode, the overall intention is to scale back the number of live music slots.

This reduction comes amid a broader trend: the number of musical performances on late-night TV dropped significantly—from around 800 weekly performances between 2011 and 2013 to closer to 200 in 2023, according to a report by music publication *Consequence of Sound*.

*The Hollywood Reporter* revealed that JKL’s music producer, Jim Pitt, has begun notifying artist managers, record labels, and promo bookers about the planned cuts. Pitt collaborates on musical bookings with former sElf bassist Mac Burrus.

Last year, *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* featured a diverse lineup of musical guests, including The Linda Lindas, The Weeknd, My Morning Jacket, Soccer Mommy, Finneas, Red Kross, Cameron Winter, Japanese Breakfast, Smokey Robinson, Rilo Kiley, Garbage, Lil Wayne, Queens of the Stone Age, Public Enemy, Haim, Dawes, and MJ Lenderman.

Interestingly, this decline in musical performances on traditional late-night shows coincides with fresh energy in the space, thanks to new entrants like Netflix’s *Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney*. Launched last year, the show has showcased performances from notable artists such as Kim Gordon and Kim Deal, Mannequin Pussy, Metz, Sleater-Kinney, and The Velvet Underground’s John Cale, offering a much-needed boost to live music on late-night TV.

Historic Farmers’ Almanac to end publication after more than 200 years

**Farmers’ Almanac to Publish Final Edition in 2026**
*By Matt Durr | Nov 7, 2025*

After more than two centuries of publication, the *Farmers’ Almanac* will release its final edition in 2026, according to the Associated Press. The Maine-based publication, which first printed its annual edition in 1818, announced the decision on Thursday.

“It is with a heavy heart,” Editor Sandi Duncan said in a statement, “that we share the end of what has not only been an annual tradition in millions of homes and hearths for hundreds of years, but also a way of life, an inspiration for many who realize the wisdom of generations past is the key to the generations of the future.”

Publishers cited ongoing financial difficulties related to producing and distributing the almanac in today’s “chaotic media environment” as the primary reason for its closure. The online version of the *Farmers’ Almanac* is set to cease next month.

**KarlInOhio:**
To clarify, this announcement concerns the *Farmers’ Almanac*, not the more familiar *Old Farmer’s Almanac*. (I pray that the sleeping giant has finally awakened and been filled with a terrible resolve.)

**9YearLurker:**
I wouldn’t be surprised if someone bought the rights and resumed publication with an updated financial model.

**stars & stripes forever:**
At the end of the article, it said the *Old Farmers Almanac* is still being published.

Nintendo (NTDOY) addresses recent hacking claims by Crimson Collective

Reply

Last week, a group of hackers calling itself the Crimson Collective claimed to have infiltrated Nintendo’s systems and secured a wealth of private data. This week, Nintendo has responded to these allegations.

The gaming giant shared that it has investigated the purported breach. While some servers hosting Nintendo’s webpages may have been defaced, there is no indication that personal or business data were compromised. This information comes from the Japanese publication The Sankei Shimbun, which Nintendo provided an official statement to regarding the matter.

In the statement, Nintendo assured fans that it has found no evidence of any compromised business or user data. The original claim from Crimson Collective surfaced on Twitter on October 11, 2025. The group posted a screenshot showcasing folders organized into categories such as “production,” “staging,” and “dev.”

Despite these claims, Nintendo remains confident that no critical information related to its games or services was leaked or stolen during the incident. Fans can rest assured that Nintendo is handling the situation and maintaining the security of its systems.
