The late-night show is taking a week of episodes to Brooklyn, filming at the Howard Gilman Opera House, which is part of BAM. The five-night run starts Sept. 28.
Each broadcast blends interviews and live performances. Monday brings Pete Davidson, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and TV on the Radio. Other nights include Howard Stern, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Morello, Billy Crystal, Mahershala Ali, De La Soul, John Oliver, Seth Meyers, Robby Hoffman, Paul McCartney, Bernie Sanders, and Goose.
This Brooklyn run may draw fans and tourists toward BAM, potentially helping nearby restaurants, bars, and shops. It could give Kimmel's show a live-event boost and expose East Coast viewers to its mix of comedy, music, and interviews. Local production crews and venues may see temporary work, while audiences could enjoy rare cross-generational pairings. The week may also reinforce late-night TV's role as a cultural gathering point, though its broader social effect is likely modest.
