his Monday, November 18th, Denzel Washington graces the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” stage, and he’s not just there to promote one movie but two. Consider it a two-for-one deal on cinematic charisma. First up: “Gladiator II,” the Ridley Scott-directed sequel that’s poised to conquer the box office. Expect Washington to drop some hints, maybe even a tidbit or two, about his role. And for those less inclined towards swords and sandals, fear not. He’ll also be discussing “The Piano Lesson,” a family drama directed by his son, Malcolm, and co-starring another Washington son, John David.
Phillipa Soo, currently sailing the choppy waters of ABC’s medical drama “Doctor Odyssey,” will also be on the couch. I only hope Kimmel asks about some of her cruise ship adventures – the seasickness cures, midnight buffets, or perhaps an impromptu karaoke session gone awry?
And for the musical portion of the evening, country legend Dwight Yoakam will perform songs from his new album, “Brighter Days.” Let’s face it; it’s not a bad night of entertainment. From Oscar-winning actors to ship-bound doctors and country crooners, tune in to ABC at 11:35 p.m. this Monday.
“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” airs Monday through Friday at 11:35 p.m. on ABC.
