Looks like the whole episode was cancelled:

I really don't think Kimmel would cancel a whole show because one guest dropped out. Jimmy's daughter is due to give birth to his first grandchild so that might be why.

My original subject read:

Betcha Jimmy didn't promise to go easy on Jake.

and the reply message was:

Mr. Tapper once blocked me on twitter because I called him a...

stenographer.

The man's skin is as thin as tissue paper.

They’re running a re-run instead.

First comes the monologue, then the primary guest (tonight was supposed to be Seth Rogan), then the second guest (Tapper), and then a musical guest.

One guest dropping out wouldn’t cause the whole show to be cancelled. They could find someone else or figure it out. It must be due to something with Jimmy.

Jimmy Kimmel Live! Cancels Monday Night Taping

First on LateNighter: Jimmy Kimmel was set to begin a week of new episodes today after taking last week off, but now tonight’s taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live! has been cancelled.

Seth Rogen, whose Apple TV+ series The Studio releases its season finale on Wednesday, was scheduled to be Kimmel’s guest tonight, along with CNN anchor Jake Tapper and singer-songwriter Kali Uchis. ....

The network didn’t offer details on why Kimmel’s taping was cancelled, but the host revealed last week that his daughter was due with her first child. Kimmel shared the news of the expectancy in a video made for the ABC upfronts last week, in which he offered to sell the naming rights to his first grandchild. ....

As of now, Kimmel’s Tuesday-Thursday tapings remain on the schedule. His guests for the rest of the week include Sarah Silverman, Owen Wilson, Miley Cyrus, and coincidentally, Birbiglia. ....
