Late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel will reportedly headline an upcoming fundraiser to benefit House Democrats.
According to New York Times reporter Teddy Schleifer, Kimmel will be the special guest for a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee benefit dinner next month.
Schleifer shared an invitation for the event on Tuesday, revealing that it will take place in Los Angeles on Mar. 10 and also feature House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Ticket prices range from $25,000 to over $300,000.

In June 2024, Kimmel led a similar Los Angeles event to raise money for then-President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign. Celebrity guests included George Clooney, Julia Roberts and former President Barack Obama, and the event reportedly raised over $30 million.

The event later went viral after a clip showed what appeared to be Obama guiding Biden off a stage. Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race one month later.
Kimmel continued to raise funds for Democrats, lending his name and endorsement to former Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign.
