Doctors Keep Kimmel in Stitches

Jimmy Kimmel's funny bone remains intact, but his appendix is down for the count.

The late-night talk show host is recuperating at home after undergoing an emergency appendectomy Wednesday night in Los Angeles.

"The surgery was a success," Lewis Kay, Kimmel's publicist, said. "He is resting comfortably and is looking forward to getting back to work."

The 39-year-old comedian will be taking a few sick days while he recovers from the side-splitting, if unamusing procedure. Kay says Kimmel won't be back on air until Monday at the earliest.

"The rest of this week's tapings of Jimmy Kimmel Live have been canceled until he is back on his feet," Kay said.

ABC will round out the week with reruns of interviews with Geoffrey Rush, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Kevin Costner and Leslie Mann.
