Now that the writer’s strike is over, late night shows can get back to business, which means ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” will return Monday, October 2, with brand new episodes and guests.
The Details
ABC’s Emmy® Award-winning late-night talk show, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” has been in repeats ever since May 1, 2023, when the WGA strike went into effect.
But with that now strike over, Kimmel can return to his late night show with new episodes, and he has announced his guests for his first week back.
Here’s the line-up scheduled for the week of October 2-6, 2023:
Monday, Oct. 2 (Season Premiere)
- Arnold Schwarzenegger 2. Musical Guest Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit
Tuesday, Oct. 3
- Kathy Griffin 2. Luenell 3. Musical Guest Glen Hansard
Wednesday, Oct. 4
- Wanda Sykes 2. Cassidy Hutchinson 3. Musical Guest LANY
Thursday, Oct. 5
- Dax Shepard 2. Nicole Avant 3. Musical Guest BoyWithUke
Friday, Oct. 6
- This night’s guests are still to be determined.
Keep in mind with the SAG-AFTRA strike still in effect, actors can’t talk about film or TV projects, so they’ll most likely be talking about other projects like books, podcasts, or music.
How to Watch
“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” airs every weeknight at 11:35pm EDT on ABC, and past episodes can be streamed on Hulu and on YouTube.
