Jimmy Kimmel Live! is reducing the number of musical artists it features each week, with reports suggesting the show will now have musical guests twice a week. The change comes after the death of the show's bandleader, Cleto Escobedo III, which has prompted a tribute and a name change for the house band. The reduction in musical guests may be part of a larger shift in the late-night music landscape, which some see as a blow to the music industry.
