ABC has set the guest lineup for Jimmy Kimmel Live! for the week of Oct. 12-16, giving viewers a day-by-day look at who is scheduled to fill the show’s weeknight slot at 11:35 p.m. EDT. The list runs from Josh Brolin on Monday through Kim Kardashian and Judd Apatow on Thursday.
That kind of schedule matters because the show airs every weeknight, and the week ahead is the one viewers can plan around right now. Monday’s episode is set to include William Shatner and Brad Paisley, with Brad Paisley also listed as the musical guest. Tuesday brings Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson and Kate Berlant. Wednesday is set for Adam Brody and Tom Rhys Harries, with Matchbox Twenty as the musical guest. Thursday’s episode lists Kim Kardashian and Judd Apatow.
The booking is also being framed as a planned schedule, not a finished broadcast. The week of Oct. 12-16 remains subject to change, so the lineup gives viewers the clearest available map of the week without locking every name in place. That leaves the final guest list as the one unresolved piece, even as the network has already laid out the rest of the week’s run.
One recurring name on the schedule is Adryon de León, who sits in with The Cletones on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. With the week now mapped out episode by episode, the main question is not what ABC has planned, but how closely the show sticks to it once the cameras roll.
