ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” has confirmed a high-profile guest roster for the week of October 12, 2026, featuring entertainment legend William Shatner and media mogul Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. While the talk show typically maintains a steady late-night slot, viewers should prepare for a broadcast delay on Monday night due to scheduled NFL coverage.

Monday’s NFL Schedule Shift and Musical Guests

The Monday, Oct. 12 episode is expected to be delayed until approximately 11:50 PM EDT on several ABC affiliates to accommodate Monday Night Football. The delay follows the broadcast of the Los Angeles Rams versus the Buffalo Bills.

When the show begins, it will feature actor Josh Brolin alongside a dual appearance by William Shatner and country star Brad Paisley. Shatner and Paisley are visiting the program to promote their collaborative project, Love & Other Mysteries. According to the Disney Entertainment Television lineup, the pair will serve as both talk guests and the night’s musical performers.

Monday night's broadcast will be delayed to accommodate NFL coverage.

50 Cent and the Mid-Week Lineup

On Tuesday, Oct. 13, the show returns to its standard 11:35 PM EDT time slot with Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. The rapper and producer is scheduled to discuss his latest project involving the Street Fighter franchise.

The remainder of the week features a mix of television stars and reality icons. The scheduled guests include:

Wednesday, Oct. 14: Actor Adam Brody and director Judd Apatow. Thursday, Oct. 15: Kim Kardashian and comedian Kate Berlant.
