“We have cancelled the studio audience tonight, but a few kind of Kimmel staffers and some friends, my husband Chasten, all here instead…everyone is spread apart at the CDC-recommended distance…this is disappointing, because as you all know, I love to crowd surf,” he said during the opening monologue.

He also poked fun at his presidential run: “I really thought we had a shot. Turns out, I was about 40 years too young and 38 years too gay,” he said.

He also interviewed Sir Patrick Stewart and Tony Hale during the show.
