This week’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” guest list reads like a Mad Libs of Hollywood, bringing together sitcom stars, political figures, action heroes, and country rappers. It’s the kind of eclectic mix that Jimmy Kimmel seems to pull off effortlessly, making his late-night show a reliable source of unpredictable entertainment.
Kicking things off on Monday, April 21 is Quinta Brunson, the Emmy-nominated force behind “Abbott Elementary.” She’ll be joined by Chris Hayes, who may bring an air of seriousness to the proceedings. Providing the musical interlude will be Austin’s Treaty Oak Revival.
Tuesday, April 22 sees the arrival of comedic powerhouse Will Forte (“The Four Seasons”), U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett, and rapper BigXthaPlug. Forte’s brand of absurdist humor should make for an interesting contrast with Crockett’s political insights. Wednesday, April 23, brings Ben Affleck (“The Accountant 2”) and Danny Ricker to chat, with music from Jensen McRae.
And then there’s Thursday, April 24. Jelly Roll, the country rapper having a moment with his hit “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” joins forces with gospel artist Brandon Lake for what is sure to be a unique musical experience.
“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” airs every weeknight at 11:35 p.m. EST on ABC.
