Jimmy Kimmel Live!'s highly-anticipated return finally has a date. The ABC late-night TV show will return on January 8, 2024.

It's been two weeks since we've seen a new episode from Jimmy Kimmel and company. The show took its typical holiday hiatus, giving Kimmel and the staff some much-deserved rest ahead of the new year.

But now 2024 is here. Late-night TV fans and more are looking for Kimmel. Not only is the comedian's humor in demand, but he's also managed to make headlines outside of television.

Kimmel entered yet another feud during the hiatus, this time with New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers. After Rodgers suggested Kimmel's name could be on a list of Jeffrey Epstein's associates, Kimmel called out the QB on Twitter and threatened legal action.

Who knows if Kimmel will keep the sensitive story going when he returns on January 8. Regardless, viewers will tune in to hear what the late-night host has to say about everything else going on.

Kimmel's first guest post-holiday hiatus will be Kaley Cuoco. The actor will be on to promote her new Prime movie Role Play. Then, Jake Johnson joins the show to discuss his Hulu movie Self Reliance. Johnson wrote, directed, and stars in the comedy thriller. Finally, country singer Annie Bosko will perform in support of her new self-titled EP.

Jimmy Kimmel Live! airs at 11:35 p.m. ET on ABC. Fans can also watch the show with a Hulu subscription.
