Overview
- Jimmy Kimmel Live! will tape at Brooklyn’s Howard Gilman Opera House from Sept. 29 to Oct. 3 with new episodes each weekday.
- Confirmed guests include Tom Hanks, Emily Blunt, Ryan Reynolds, Stephen Colbert, Josh Johnson, Kumail Nanjiani, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Jeremy Allen White.
- Musical performances are scheduled from Public Enemy, Reneé Rapp, Geese, and Living Colour.
- Kimmel’s return after Disney’s suspension drew about 6.3 million linear viewers and roughly 26 million social views for his monologue, according to Disney, even as many stations kept the show off the air.
- Nexstar and Sinclair continue to preempt the program across dozens of ABC affiliates, and local reports say security will be increased for the Brooklyn tapings.
