Kanye West Books 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' The Night After U.S. Election

Kanye West is going to get political once again.

ABC has announced that the rapper will appear as a special guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday (November 4), one night after the United States presidential election. The late-night show won’t be airing on Tuesday due to the news coverage from the election, but is set to continue later in the week. While West attempted his own presidential bid this year, he only managed to get his name on ballots in 12 states, including Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah and Vermont.

As per a campaign advertisement, which was published last week, West said that his calling is to be "the leader of the free world," something that God put on his heart in 2015. "I will lead with love, dignity, the responsibility to our country, the coverage of our families, of our soldiers and in full service to God and to the American people," he said in the ad. "This isn't something that you just wing. This all is gonna take moments of listening, moments of understanding. There couldn’t be a better time to put a visionary in the captain’s chair."

Jimmy Kimmel Live! airs at 11:35 PM on ABC.
