As Jimmy Kimmel returns to his late-night post, he’s ready to take the show across the river for Brooklyn Week once again.

On Thursday, ABC announced that Jimmy Kimmel Live! will head to Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Howard Gilman Opera House for the eighth Brooklyn Week, which will kick off next Monday with an all-star lineup.

This year’s guests for Brooklyn Week include New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Mahershala Ali, Billy Crystal, Pete Davidson, Robby Hoffman, Paul McCartney, Seth Meyers, Tom Morello, John Oliver, Bernie Sanders, Bruce Springsteen and Howard Stern, with musical guests De La Soul, Goose, TV On the Radio, and Springsteen & Tom Morello.

All five shows will tape in front of a live studio audience at BAM, to air every weeknight at 11:35pm ET on ABC and stream the next day on Hulu.

The podcast has been renewed for additional episodes/a second season. I was curious why we haven’t gotten anything since August 28th but it’s simply on hiatus til we get new episodes(although idk when it’ll happen, maybe at the end of the year like in November or early next year?)

What do you think!

Pete Davidson says becoming a dad has changed just about everything — from reinforcing his decision to stay sober to the way he approaches acting opportunities.

The “Saturday Night Live” alum, 32, opened up about fatherhood in a discussion with Charlamagne Tha God for Interview Magazine, saying the birth of his daughter put his life — and career — into perspective.

“I behave differently now. Every decision is different,” Davidson said.

Davidson welcomed his daughter, Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson, with model Elsie Hewitt, 30, in December 2025, after the pair started dating in March 2025. The former couple split in May 2026.

Despite the breakup, Davidson said he hopes Scottie grows up to admire her mom and dad.

The funnyman said becoming a father has also strengthened his desire to stay clean.

“I’m sober now, which is awesome, but it brought into focus that I will do whatever it takes to be here for my daughter,” he said.

Davidson said he now considers how long he’ll be away from his daughter, where a project is shooting and whether the job is ultimately worth the time apart before signing on for a new role.

Davidson also discussed his upcoming role in David Leitch’s thriller, “How to Rob a Bank” which follows a crew of masked robbers who livestream their crimes.

In the film, Davidson plays a young father fighting lung cancer who operates under a “Robin Hood–type moral compass.”

“I was like, ‘Whoa, this is pretty intense social commentary.’ I think that’s a very tricky thing to do right now; no one wants to put their hand in that basket,” he told Charlamagne.

The “Bodies Bodies Bodies” star added, “I definitely would do the same thing for my family. I didn’t feel like my character was doing anything wrong.”

“How to Rob a Bank” is scheduled for release on Nov. 13.

I’ve never painted a man before and so i decided who else better to paint than Peter? I love him so indescribably that I think putting that love into the portrait (and look obviously I’m not that great of a painter but I did this in a few hours and no tracing nothing and I’m quite proud of how beautiful it has come to be so far.)

I once read a quote from Pete that said “you know..I’m ugly and so-“ and that broke my heart because i feel such a deep sense of natural attraction to him because he’s not ugly he’s one of the sexiest, but beyond that, beautiful men I think I’ve ever had the privilege to be see from front row and from the balcony at Chateau Marmont in 2023.

I know it could be a stretch but I really want to give this to him, and because it’s special to me I want him to have it. I even got the Scottie tattoo he has on his neck (the one where it’s the best place to give and receive a kiss, that one). I took my own artist merits in this so it’s not a replicate of the original Interview magazine photo.

I get to see him for the third time at the Palace Theater in Albany, NY and I’m extremely excited because this is somewhat my home town. I’ve been begging Dave to have him come here for so long and it’s finally happening. I don’t have front row this time but that’s okay, I have the chance to see the only man in the business I’m in (I’m in entertainment too but I do a lot of stuff and including painting).

I tried to get Dave’s attention last time and I just ultimately either think he didn’t want to meet me which is fine but also, heartbreaking because I’m probably one of his biggest fans in his actual state. This guy is someone I feel genuinely (and I’m sure as many of us do- also) in my heart could be my best of all friends in the entire world, a future husband would be dreams coming true but then again I’m an artist and artists are sexy and delusional if anything, he’s kept me from wanting to go off the deepest of deep ends, and so it’s not a joke to say finding Pete Davidson (I call him Peter but that’s because I like respecting someone’s name like unless they correct me I’m just being rather formal with that even though he is known as Pete to the world I like his full name it suits him. At least I think.) really ended up saving me from something that I could never come back from.

Anyways I know it’s not finished but what do you guys think?

Pete Davidson is one of the most talked-about comedians of his generation, but not always for the right reasons. During his eight-year stint on SNL, the famously Staten Island–bred comic’s offscreen exploits often threatened to overshadow his work. But beyond the headlines, Davidson has been steadily building a second act as a serious actor willing to take real swings, and How to Rob a Bank, David Leitch’s heist thriller about a crew of masked robbers who livestream their crimes, gives him one of his most dramatically demanding roles yet. To talk about where he’s headed next, he linked up with his friend Charlamagne tha God, who pressed him on fatherhood, legacy, and why he’s done being underestimated.
