Late-night fans will see a rare host swap next week when Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert appear as guests on each other’s shows—on the very same night.
Kimmel, who’s broadcasting a week of shows from Brooklyn Sept. 29–Oct. 4, announced earlier this month that Colbert would be one of his guests. What wasn’t known (and perhaps not planned) at the time is that Colbert will host Kimmel on The Late Show that same night—Tuesday, Sept. 30.
The mutual guest spots come as both hosts navigate turbulent times: Colbert in the wake of CBS’s cancellation of The Late Show, and Kimmel following his suspension and reinstatement at ABC.
Although the shows air at 11:35 p.m. on competing networks, their Tuesday taping schedules have been adjusted to make the double appearance possible. Kimmel will meet Colbert first in Brooklyn before the pair heads to the Ed Sullivan Theater in Manhattan for Colbert’s taping.
Kimmel has appeared on Colbert’s Late Show only once before, in October 2015, just a month after its premiere. Colbert has guested on Jimmy Kimmel Live! four times, but only once since succeeding David Letterman, in 2017.
The two time-slot rivals have been outspoken advocates for one another in recent months. Kimmel, who was nominated alongside Colbert for Outstanding Talk Series at the Emmys, publicly campaigned for Colbert to win, while Colbert passionately defended Kimmel during the ABC host’s suspension last week.
No word yet on whether any other Strike Force Five alums will crash the party—but it wouldn’t be a surprise if they do.
great
Are they going to be on each show at different points during the hour so people can watch both?
lets hope not
Cryin’ Jimmy and Colbert to guest on each other’s failing shows and smell each other’s flatulence the same night that American TV Viewers return to the NEW King of Late Night, GREG GUTTFELD!
Whine harder for us, losers! Gutfool is trash, and so are you! You can’t even spell his name right!
Well, look at that…whose the weiner, I mean whiner now? I wouldn’t call anybody losers on this side of the aisle; it’s our CONSERVATIVE host that’s winning and being dubbed “King of Late Night”. Hell, Kimmel wouldn’t even be a blip on the radar if he were aired on cable television. But I’ll tell ya what, you stick to those two sycophants who can’t come up with an original thought between the two of them without mentioning their daddy, Trump…and we’ll stick to watching our man, Gutfeld. Because WE know, unlike those two dingalings, Greg doesn’t need to attract viewers with various stars and celebrities pushing assorted banalities (But you libs love hearing the same old boring shit, as so you don’t get too confused) And who knows, maybe you can ask for tickets to the show when they debut their little circle jerk, so you can feel like you’re part of the circle.
But you are dumber than a bag of doorknobs if you think Gutfool has an even a modicum of talent! Hers a failed comedian who couldn’t make people laugh if his life were on the line, so he turned to right wing News in order to prop up his LOOKITME! shtick
If Gutfool had a mainstream show of his own, he wouldn’t last a week, because he’d turn off the rest of the country with his douchebro behavior! Nobody with a modicum of intelligence would stand to watch it!
You MAGAts are the biggest losers out there!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You must be ill informed. Go back Truth Social!
Go back Truth Social? wth? We know your side isn’t too good out in public when debating and maintaining your composure while discussing the facts, but you guys can’t even control yourself when typing either. I gave you keyboard warriors too much credit. wait, I know this name… Michael??? hold up, Michelle, is that you? Did Barry let you off the leash to play American citizen again?
You need serious psychological help with that behavior of yours, child!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Losers tend to congregate together
yes, we’re aware- we’ve seen your party’s neat little parades and protests on TV and Social Media- ” No Kings Day” may be my favorite one yet bahaha !! we don’t even have to try!!-the jokes write themselves! Ever heard of the saying “give them enough rope and they will hang themselves”?
That’s a good story Sergei. You must not have collected you vodka ration for the week yet.
You fucking pathetic bitchboy!
Most of the comments here are just ….. disgusting.
Anyways, this plus Conan visiting Colbert this week is gonna be the most anticipated thing I’ve been waiting for since Kimmel announced the Brooklyn shows
And with the suspension subsiding, I can only imagine what those three are gonna say about the future of late night~
And to keep similar sentiments from a Reddit comment, I’m BEGGING for a Strike Force 5 reunion in some capacity~ It’s been too damn long~💚💚💚💚💚⚡️
