Another week is here, and that means new schedules for our favorite late night shows. Jimmy Kimmel Live! is packed with exciting guests, including a certain Muppet favorite, starting Monday, Jan. 26.
This week is focused on romance. At least, the start of the week is, with a lot of focus on the upcoming Wuthering Heights remake. It’s worth noting that Friday is still to be determined. This will be a rerun, but we’re not sure which rerun ABC will choose to air. You’ll also notice from the Jimmy Kimmel Live! schedule that there are only two musical guests, fitting the plan that ABC recently shared about the series.
Monday, January 26
Margot Robbie kicks off the week with a focus on her new movie Wuthering Heights. This is a remake of the Emily Brontë classic, and there are already many negative thoughts based on the trailer. Kimmel is likely to avoid that topic of discussion, focusing more on the filming, the character, and the story.
After that, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II will appear on the show to discuss his new series, Wonder Man. No, this isn’t a DC offering. It’s a Marvel series coming to Disney+, and it’s time to get into a few of the details.
Tuesday, January 27
The next day is all about Wuthering Heights. Jacob Elordi will be there to chat about that and his other, more recent movie, Frankenstein. There’s also surely going to be something about Euphoria season 3, which finally has a premiere date!
After that, Niecy Nash-Betts will come onto the talk show to discuss Big Age. There’s also plenty of other shows to talk about, such as her dark and twisty guest appearance on The Hunting Party and her role on All’s Fair. Then it’s time for the first of two musical guests for the week, with Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit performing.
Wednesday, January 28
Nate Bargatze will come onto the series to kick off Hump Day, promoting The Greatest Average American. Not to be confused by his 2021 Netflix standup special (although that could come up), the show is a game show that will be hosted by Bargatze, and he’ll be there to touch on what contestants will need to do.
Joe Scarborough will then appear to talk about his talk show, Morning Joe. The show is focused on in-depth and informed discussions that help people navigate daily conversations when it comes to politics. This is an important topic, especially right now, so it’s no surprise that Kimmel wants him on the show.
Thursday, January 29
The last new episode of the week starts with Kaley Cuoco to promote her new series, Vanished. On this, she plays Alice Monroe, who is meant to be on a relaxing French vacation. However, when her boyfriend vanishes on a train to Arles, she is forced to dig up his past to get some answers.
Then it’s the interview you know you’re waiting for. Kermit the Frog will appear to talk all about his new The Muppet Show special, which will feature Sabrina Carpenter. After that, The Format will perform as the second musical guest of the week.
Of course, all of this is subject to change.
Jimmy Kimmel Live! airs on weeknights at 11:35/10:35c on ABC.
