I was hoping it was the monkeys,” the host, 57, said with a laugh.“Those monkeys got ahold of that gun and start firing. That would be fantastic!” Kimmel added.“People have gone apes–t thinking that,” Monaghan said about the monkey theory. “No, everybody’s lost the point.”Kimmel joked that the monkeys going on a killing spree would “be like the beginning of ‘The Planet of the Apes.’ That would be quite a crossover type thing.”“Maybe we’re going there here, in this life, but not on the show,” Monaghan said.Every season of “The White Lotus” has a whodunit murder mystery.The first season of the show saw hotel guest Shane (Jake Lacy) stab manager Armond (Murray Bartlett) to death.
