Opening his show, Jimmy revealed that he had canceled the night before because he had become a grandpa.
In his opening monologue, Jimmy revealed that his daughter, 33, had welcomed her first child.
Katie Kimmel and her husband Will Logsdon welcomed a baby girl on Monday, with Jimmy deciding to be there instead of his own show.
Returning to work, Jimmy began the show by saying: “I am the host of the show. Thank you, thank you for coming, thank you for watching, thank you for joining us here in Hollywood.”
He then said: “We are back to work after an extra day off.
“You know, we were supposed to have a show last night, but we didn’t because my daughter had a baby last night.”
JIMMY’S ELDEST KIDS
He then added: “My oldest daughter – you know, people don’t realize, people that know I have two little kids, they don’t know I have two older kids.
“My oldest daughter, she’s 83-years-old,” Jimmy joked, as the crowd roared with laughter.
“Her name is Katie,” he continued.

“Katie and her husband Will had a baby girl right at the time we shoot our show last night. So I decided to be there instead of here.”
He then revealed the baby’s name and meaning behind it – after making a joke (or two), of course.
Jimmy said: “The baby’s very healthy. Her name, they gave her a very cute name.
“Her name is Melania,” Jimmy joked. “It’s Melanie Thee Stallion…her name is Patti. Like the melt, but with an ‘I’ not a ‘Y’.”
