Ken Bone is sticking around for at least another week.
ABC announced on Thursday that Bone will appear as a special guest correspondent when Jimmy Kimmel airs a live show following the third Presidential debate on October 19, with Bone reporting from Las Vegas.
Bone, the red sweater-wearing, mustachioed town hall debate sensation, appeared on Kimmel’s late-night show on Tuesday, telling the host that he is still undecided between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
“Donald Trump is more in line with my economic interests, because I work in coal — electricity,” he said. “But I would really hate for anyone’s rights to get taken back,” he continued. “We fought so hard to get marriage equality and rights expanded to more Americans. It would be unconscionable to me to see those rights taken away by a Supreme Court justice appointed by Donald Trump.”
Other guests on Kimmel’s live show will include Gal Gadot, the star of “Wonder Woman” and the upcoming “Justice League” movies. In addition, Kimmel will host Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson.
Johnson’s appearance on the show comes as something of a surprise because Kimmel has frequently mocked Johnson for his many gaffes on the campaign trail. Recently, Kimmel ran a segment advertising a fake game show called “Are You Smarter Than Gary Johnson?”
