Finally, Jimmy Kimmel is ready to get back to late-night TV. And the timing couldn't be better for the comedian's first Jimmy Kimmel Live! episode of 2025.
Kimmel and the rest of late-night TV have been off the air for a few weeks. The holiday season provided a much-needed break for the host and staff to prepare for what should be a busy and eventful January.
A brand-new episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! airs tonight as Kimmel ends his holiday hiatus. It's a fitting day for Kimmel's return, giving him plenty to discuss.
Of course, Kimmel's monologue will likely touch on the anniversary of January 6. Kimmel hasn't let anyone forget what happened that day and today will be no different.
Today also marked a joint session of Congress to certify the results of the 2024 presidential election. Nothing amuses Kimmel more than mocking Republicans and hardcore MAGAs. Having them all under one roof should give the comedian plenty to cover.
Then, Kimmel welcomes some of the biggest names in Hollywood. First up is Selena Gomez. Expect Kimmel to congratulate her on her recent engagement as well as the success of her film Emilia Perez.
Next, Kimmel will chat with Shogun star Anna Sawai. Last night, she took home the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Television Series - -Drama, so there's a lot to get to with the star actress.
The Linda Lindas serve as Monday night's musical guest. They'll play a song of their most recent album, No Obligation.
