Late night: Five guests to get excited for this week – July 15, 2019

Billy Eichner on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Close out your late night week with Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday July 18. Billy Eichner will be the lead guest.

Eichner is out promoting his role as the voice of Timon in Disney’s “live action” version of The Lion King. The cast is stacked with big name talent like Donald Glover, Beyonce, and Seth Rogen. The role of Timon is a big one for Eichner as his career continues to find more and more mainstream success.

If you are familiar with Eichner’s show Billy on the Street then you know how entertaining he can be whether on his own or playing off someone else. As a massive fan of all things pop culture, it is perfect that he is out promoting a Disney movie on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. 

Fans who want even more from Eichner or want to learn a bit about him before watching his interview with Jimmy Kimmel should check out Eichner on Conan O’Brien’s podcast. Eichner is his usual hilarious self but also very thoughtful when reflecting on his career and the challenges for gay actors.

Any time a Disney movie is coming out, Kimmel makes a point to help with the marketing whether it needs the boost or not. Don’t be surprised to see a Lion King inspired parody or game prepared for Eichner’s visit.

There are even more big name celebrities that will be guests on late night this week beyond the five we named here. Who are you looking forward to seeing? Let us know in the comment section and check in all week for late night highlights!
