Jimmy Kimmel, whose late night show is doing its seventh annual Brooklyn episodes next week, quipped in his monologue last night that the show has to “stay on the move so the FCC can’t get us.” He’ll be in good company: A starry lineup of guests has been announced.

In addition to the previously announced Stephen Colbert, guests for Jimmy Kimmel Live!’s Brooklyn week will include Emily Blunt, Tom Hanks, Josh Johnson, Spike Lee, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Kumail Nanjiani, Ryan Reynolds, Bruce Springsteen and Jeremy Allen White (who, of course, plays Springsteen in the new biopic Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere). Musical guests will include Geese, Living Colour, Public Enemy and Reneé Rapp.

The five original shows, airing September 29-October 3, will tape in front of a live studio audience from the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Howard Gilman Opera House. Kimmel is a Brooklyn native.

 

While Jimmy Kimmel Live! normally airs four nights a week, Kimmel will tape fresh episodes Monday through Friday during his Brooklyn run. The show airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET on ABC and streams the next day on Hulu.
