Jimmy Kimmel Live! went dark last week, leaving late-night TV without one of its signature shows. But ABC has an update about what to expect from Jimmy Kimmel and his team.
Kimmel's absence came at an unfortunate time. The week was packed with the type of stories that usually make his monologues a must-watch. President Donald Trump's interest in accepting Qatar's gift of a new plane was the biggest story to go by without Kimmel's commentary.
Perhaps Kimmel will catch up on that story when Jimmy Kimmel Live! returns with brand-new episodes tonight. ABC announced the show is back this week, ending its brief hiatus.
Fans will definitely be happy to see Kimmel back on the air this week. We're also nearing his annual summer vacation, so the comedian's time on ABC is limited this time of year.
Who's on Jimmy Kimmel Live! this week?
ABC released the lineup for this week of Jimmy Kimmel Live! shows. And as always, it's packed with fan-favorite stars and entertainment A-listers. Fans will especially want to tune in on Tuesday night when one of Kimmel's best guests of all time stops by for another visit.
On Monday, May 19, Seth Rogen, Jake Tapper, and Kali Uchis are scheduled to appear. The next night, Sarah Silverman, Paul W. Downs, and Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory will be on the show.
Wednesday, May 21, features Owen Wilson, Tramell Tillman, and Laufey. Jimmy Kimmel's week wraps up on Thursday night with Miley Cyrus and Mike Birbiglia.
Jimmy Kimmel Live! airs on ABC at 11:35 p.m. ET.
