Jimmy Kimmel has made Donald Trump‘s campaign into a point of humor on his show for a while now, but for those looking forward to the plutocrat’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, you’ll have to wait a little longer.

Trump was supposed to appear tonight as part of Kimmel’s “Back to Brooklyn” special this week, but ABC’s John Santucci and CNN’s Brian Stelter confirmed that the show will be a man down tonight.
