This Wednesday, Jimmy Kimmel welcomes two major stars to his late-night show. First up is Allison Janney. While many know her for iconic roles in “The West Wing” and “Mom,” she’s currently starring in the new film “Another Simple Favor,” the sequel reuniting Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively. She’ll be sitting down with Jimmy for a chat. Viewers can expect Kimmel’s typical blend of fun questions and interest as they discuss Janney’s new film.

Later in the show, music legend Smokey Robinson joins Jimmy to talk about his album, “What The World Needs Now.” It wouldn’t be a Smokey Robinson visit without some music, and he’ll also be performing on the show, bringing his signature smooth sound.
