Maren Morris added to her resume this week as she stepped in as a guest host on Jimmy Kimmel Live! 

Jimmy Kimmel took the summer off to spend time with his family, he shared, “There’s nothing wrong, I’m healthy, my family’s healthy, I just need a couple of months off.”

So, while he’s off on summer vacation, the show must go on – and on it goes with guest hosts like Modern Family’s Julie Bowen, Will and Grace‘s Sean Hayes, and many more to be announced.

But this week kicked off with Maren in the host chair, and she did a great job…which started with a laugh filled monologue, that mixed her comedic talents along with her singing abilities…

During her guest hosting duties on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Maren got to interview one of her idols – Willie Nelson.

Maren also got to chat with Real Housewife Sutton Strackle…

and Megan Stalter from Hacks – one of Maren’s current favorite shows appeared on JKL! with Maren as host.
