On his show, Wyatt Cenac’s Problem Areas, the comedian and former Daily Show correspondent has dedicated himself to an entire season of trying to truly understand America’s gun problem. Like Cenac himself, the series is wry, thoughtful, and rational, as well as deeply pissed off, with Friday’s installment looking at…

On the same day of his series Atlanta’s season finale and the Hollywood premiere of Solo: A Star Wars Story, Donald Glover was Lando-cool on Jimmy Kimmel Live! All the more impressive since Glover’s also coming off a fine hosting turn at Saturday Night Live, has the most buzzed-about song and music video in the world,…

Bill Hader’s darkly comic hitman series Barry just got picked up for a second season by HBO and is garnering fine reviews from pretty much everyone. (Including our own Vikram Murthi, who gave last week’s cliffhanger-ending episode a straight-up A.) Perhaps that’s why Hader is suddenly ubiquitous on late-night TV. Or…

The unofficial “Mike Myers stops by late-night talk shows to do a remote comedy bit as a big, weird political character” tour continued apiece tonight, with the Austin Powers star—who recently popped up on The Tonight Show as his beloved super villain Dr. Evil—dropping by Jimmy Kimmel Live! tonight for an unexpected…

With Avengers: Infinity War poised to, Thanos-like, slay fully half of the world’s box office starting Friday, the Marvel movie juggernaut (no, not that one, thankfully) dispatched two teams of heroes into the late-night fray on Monday. Makes sense, since all the trailers suggest the rapidly multiplying superhero team…

The Trump administration, for all its wild and terrifying incompetence, also occasionally creates jokes too perfectly structured to be invented. To wit: You would not believe it in a piece of fiction that Fox News chin-haver Sean Hannity, the president’s blusteriest man, is also the mysterious third client of Trump’s…

Seth Rogen, current cinema’s endearingly stoned labrador retriever, stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday to promote a couple of projects and drop another anecdote about getting high in front of famous people. (In this case, a disapproving Steven Spielberg, who—to be fair—walked up to chat with Rogen at an Oscar…

Walking a fine line between public health awareness and butt-based prurience, Jimmy Kimmel got away with broadcasting the pink, supple interior of his colon to millions of people tonight. Specifically, Kimmel—working with Katie Couric, who did something similar on Today many years ago, in order to promote women’s…

Lena Waithe was no doubt booked on Tuesday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! to plug Steven Spielberg’s upcoming Ready Player One (she plays Aech). But the conversation between Waithe and Kimmel quickly revealed how much more the Chicago native has going on right now. Sure, a meaty role in a likely Spielberg blockbuster is nothing…

While Jimmy Fallon gently tousles the hair of political topics and Stephen Colbert cuts at them with satirical precision, Jimmy Kimmel has approached healthcare “reform” and gun control with honest, emotional pleas about the importance of not letting children die. He has received some criticism for this approach,…

On Tuesday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Kimmel continued his mischievously enthusiastic relationship with fellow ABC property The Bachelor, welcoming the freshly reunited couple of Arie Luyendyk and his for-real-this-time true love, Lauren Burnham. Kimmel, whose corporate-synergized interviews with participants in the…

Let us never say Jimmy Kimmel isn’t consistent. Perhaps more than any other late-night host, Kimmel has proven to be a combative, outspoken critic of harmful, GOP-led initiatives regarding healthcare, net neutrality, and alleged pedophiles running for office. Last week, the host found himself in tears while discussing…

On last night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Jimmy Kimmel took a moment to explain his televised reaction to Fergie’s very bad rendition of the national anthem at last weekend’s NBA All-Star Game. This proved mostly unnecessary, since Kimmel’s face truly did say it all. Namely, that the performance sucked and it was…

With most of the other late-night hosts either preempted by the Olympics or taking the week off, it was up to Jimmy Kimmel to stand alone on his stage and address yet another school massacre that would have been called “unthinkable” about a hundred horrifying mass shootings ago. Kimmel—whose impassioned pleas to…

On Thursday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Billy On The Street star Billy Eichner enlisted host Kimmel’s help in unveiling his new project intended to liven up the upcoming 2018 midterm elections. Especially targeting those darned millennials (who, according to Eichner, only turned out for the 2016 presidential election to the…

Donald Trump issued his first State Of The Union address tonight, somehow managing to clear the extraordinarily low bar he’s successfully convinced the nation to lower its expectations to accept, in so far as he didn’t, like, burn Hillary Clinton in effigy from the center of the House or call directly for Robert…

For all the salacious details of the alleged affair between Donald Trump and adult film actor Stormy Daniels—and there are a lot—there’s one aspect that arguably renders the whole thing not worth discussing: It requires you to think about Donald Trump naked. One bleach cocktail, please.

On Thursday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Kimmel continued in his role as late-night’s unlikely but righteous standard-bearer for children’s healthcare. As the United States government prepares for an ever more likely shutdown on Friday, and leaders of the Republican Party—which, you may recall, control the Senate, House, and…
