Abc.com and the Jimmy Kimmel Live! guest lineup as March 16, 2026 begins
Abc. com is pointing viewers to a fresh week of Jimmy Kimmel Live! as the show lines up scheduled guests for March 16–20, 2026, with episodes listed as subject to change. The Emmy Award-winning late-night talk show airs every weeknight at 11: 35 p. m. ET and continues to lean on a mix of celebrity interviews, comedy bits, musical performances, and a house band.
What happens when Abc. com publishes the week’s scheduled episodes?
The newly posted schedule sets expectations for the week’s on-air flow: a nightly format built around featured guests, with select nights adding a named musical guest. The program is described as featuring a diverse lineup that can include celebrities, athletes, musical acts, comedians, and human-interest subjects, reinforcing the show’s repeatable, weeknight cadence at 11: 35 p. m. ET.
For viewers, the practical takeaway is simple: the lineup provides a planning guide for who is slated to appear on which night, while the “subject to change” note underscores that bookings can still shift.
What if the guest list holds steady through the March 16–20 window?
If the schedule remains intact, the week is anchored by film and television talent, plus stand-up and music. The planned episodes are:
| Air date (ET) | Scheduled guests | Musical guest |
|---|---|---|
| Monday, March 16 | Zendaya (“The Drama”); Jeff Ross (“Jeff Ross: Take A Banana For The Ride”) | — |
| Tuesday, March 17 | Chelsea Handler (“High and Mighty Tour”); Chris Robinson (“A Pound of Feathers”) | Chris Robinson |
| Wednesday, March 18 | Lisa Kudrow (“The Comeback”); Charlie Cox (“Daredevil: Born Again”) | — |
| Thursday, March 19 | Robert Pattinson (“The Drama”); Sarah Shahi (“Paradise”) | Tedeschi Trucks Band |
The posted schedule lists episodes for Monday through Thursday in this window. As with any weeknight talk show booking slate, the notice that plans are subject to change remains the key caveat for audiences tracking specific appearances.
What happens next for viewers following the week’s lineup?
For audiences who watch live, the show’s consistent time slot—11: 35 p. m. ET each weeknight—remains the organizing spine of the week. For those following along digitally, the official listing also directs fans to watch on the web at abc. com, reinforcing the online destination tied to the weekly schedule release.
Across the March 16–20 stretch, the announced mix of actors, comedians, and music reflects the show’s stated programming approach: pairing interview segments with comedy bits and, on select nights, a booked musical performance alongside the house band.
