Mayor Zohran Mamdani to Appear on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' Broadcast from NYC
The New York City mayor will be a guest on the late-night show as it films a week of episodes in Brooklyn.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is scheduled to appear as a guest on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" during the show's week-long New York City broadcast. The appearance will take place on Monday, as part of the ABC late-night talk show's special run of episodes filmed at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Howard Gilman Opera House.
"Jimmy Kimmel Live!" typically tapes in California, but the show is temporarily relocating to New York for this engagement. Other notable guests announced for the week include Paul McCartney, Billy Crystal, Pete Davidson, Bruce Springsteen, Howard Stern, and Mahershala Ali.
The show airs at 11:35 p.m. Eastern Time. Mamdani, who has been noted for his social media engagement, will join a lineup of entertainment and cultural figures during the broadcast.
This marks a notable appearance for Mamdani on a national television program. "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" has been a fixture in late-night television for years, with host Jimmy Kimmel marking his 4,000th episode earlier this month. The show has previously generated headlines, including a temporary pull from the airwaves in 2025 after Kimmel made controversial remarks concerning commentator Charlie Kirk. Kimmel later addressed the incident in his monologues, at times criticizing the FCC and casting himself as a defender of free speech, while also claiming ABC had avoided airing an interview with Texas Senate hopeful James Talarico due to FCC pressure.
