Who is on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight, December 8th?
By Hector Cruz
Jimmy Kimmel will welcome back a “Friends” actress, and interview a fashion designer-turned-director on tonight’s episode.
Jimmy Kimmel has had quite a momentous week, recently confirming that he will be hosting the 2017 Academy Awards, and announcing that he and his wife, Molly McNearney, are expecting their second child together. The couple was spotted attending the Office Christmas Party premiere Wednesday night in Los Angeles.
The comedian has hosted some of the film’s cast members on Jimmy Kimmel Live this week, including TJ Miller last night and Jennifer Aniston on Thursday’s installment. The Friends alum plays Miller’s sister in the comedy, which revolves around a struggling Chicago tech firm that secretly throws an epic office Christmas party in an effort to woo a potential client and close a deal that will save their jobs. Aniston stars as the interim CEO of the company who plans to close her brother’s branch. The movie is getting mediocre reviews from critics thus far, with the consensus on Rotten Tomatoes stating that despite its talented cast, “Office Christmas Party‘s overstuffed plot ultimately proves roughly as disappointing as its clichéd gags and forced sentimentality.”

Kimmel and Aniston are real-life pals as evidenced by a trip they took together to Bora Bora with McNearney in 2015 to celebrate the actress’s marriage to Justin Theroux, along with her Office Christmas Party co-star Jason Bateman. Kimmel also helped set-up a mini Friends reunion with Courtney Cox and Lisa Kudrow on a 2014 episode of his ABC late-night series, where Aniston pretended to be annoyed at having to reprise her character from the beloved sitcom.
Kimmel’s second guest will be Tom Ford, who previously served as the creative director at Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, before launching his own label in 2006. He went on to direct the Colin Firth-led Oscar nominated film A Single Man in 2009, and is also behind the critically acclaimed Noctunal Animals, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Amy Adams. The designer recently made headlines when he reiterated his claim that “all men should be penetrated at least once” to help them better understand women. Additionally, Ford revealed that he would not dress Melania Trump as first lady, and said he had declined multiple offers in the past.
