ABC is loading up its late-night bench with a slate of high-wattage names for the week of May 26, as Jimmy Kimmel Live! brings in a sharp mix of comics, rock royalty, and buzzy talent heading into summer.

Headlining the week: Sarah Silverman drops by on Monday’s encore to talk PostMortem, her latest stand-up hour. Tuesday brings Bono, in promo mode for his live stage memoir Stories of Surrender, alongside The Rehearsal’s Nathan Fielder.

Wednesday’s lineup pairs Late Night host Seth Meyers with Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), plus a nostalgia double-shot from Blues Traveler and Gin Blossoms.
