Kimmel healing from emergency surgery

Late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel was recuperating at home Thursday after undergoing an emergency appendectomy in a Los Angeles hospital.

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

Kay said Kimmel will take the next few days to heal from Wednesday's surgery and won't return to his "Jimmy Kimmel Live" duties on ABC 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 air reruns in Kimmel's absence.
