Jimmy Kimmel Live is officially back in Brooklyn for a week of filming at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. This marks the eighth time the show has returned to the borough where Kimmel was born and spent his early years, and the production is pulling out all the stops.
The host noted that the show received over 150,000 ticket requests for this trip. He kicked off the residency with a guest list featuring Pete Davidson and Mayor Zohran Mamdani, plus a performance by TV on the Radio to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their album Return to Cookie Mountain, Variety reported.
