Late night TV: Five guests to watch this week – July 20, 2020
By Matt Moore
Late night TV guest to watch: Jason Bateman
Arrested Development fans may have a new favorite podcast. Jason Bateman will explain why when he checks in with Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday, July 23.
Bateman is one of Kimmel‘s best guests and always provides a must-see interview. Much of that is because of the friendship he has with Jimmy Kimmel. But on Thursday, he’ll be interviewed by a different friend. Sean Hayes will be hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! as part of the ABC late night show’s summer of guest hosts.
Hayes and Bateman will have plenty to talk about, though. They, along with Will Arnett, recently launched the podcast “Smartless.” The premise is that one of the three hosts will bring on a guest that is a surprise to the other two. It is meant to lead to an improvised and free-flowing conversation.
The first episode launched on July 20 with guest Dax Shepard. Episodes are set to release every Monday with guests like Will Ferrell, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and more expected to join.
On Thursday, Bateman and Hayes should discuss how “Smartless” came together and what listeners can expect from the podcast. For more, fans can also catch Will Arnett on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night.
