Late Night: 5 guests to get excited for this week – January 21, 2019

Lena Headey on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Actress Lena Headey returns to Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday, Jan. 24. The Game of Thrones star has stopped by a few times and always been up for indulging Jimmy Kimmel’s fanboy side.

Chances are that the main reason Headey will be on Jimmy Kimmel Live! is to promote her upcoming film Fighting with My Family. That movie tells the story of WWE wrestler Paige and is executive produced by Dwayne Johnson. Headey portrays as Paige’s mother.

But based on the popularity of Game of Thrones and Kimmel’s own dedication to the show, you can be sure it will be brought up during Headey’s interview. Kimmel should be able to make a smooth transition based on Headey’s role as the mother in a dysfunctional family in both the film and television series.

Headey will be the first Game of Thrones actor to be making a late night appearance since we’ve seen the season eight teaser trailer released by HBO. However, don’t expect to get too much information out of Headey. The cast always are very quiet and careful about not giving away any secrets. For his part, Kimmel likely doesn’t want spoilers anyway and will probably ask more about the final days of filming and how Headey marked the end of her run on Game of Thrones.

So those are five picks for who you should be excited to see on late night this week. As always, there a lot of celebrity guests to keep track of but Last Night On will have all the best moments from the week covered right here. Let us know who you’re eager to see this week and then be sure to check back in to watch all the highlights!
