Jimmy Kimmel, in a tip of the cap to Stephen Colbert, will air a repeat of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on May 21 — the date of Colbert’s final late-night show on CBS, ending his 11-season run on the network.

Kimmel’s timeslot for next Thursday, May 21, will have a rerun after new episodes air earlier that week (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday), ABC confirmed. Kimmel is doing so “out of deference to Colbert’s sendoff,” per news site LateNighter.
