Jimmy Kimmel and Norman Lear are bringing back Live in Front of a Studio Audience on December 7th. However, this time, they are not doing one of Lear’s shows. Instead, they are doing Diff’rent Strokes and The Facts of Life.
So far, ABC announced who will be starring in Diff’rent Strokes. Kevin Hart will be playing Arnold, Damon Wayans, Jr. will be his big brother Willis, John Lithgow is their adoptive dad Mr. Drummond, and Ann Dowd is starring as their maid Mrs. Garrett. There is no word if she will also be playing the part during The Facts of Life recreation.
They did not reveal what episode they are recreating, but I am assuming it is Willis’ Privacy because of the costumes. Personally, out of all of the episodes to choose from, this is a very weak one to pick.
As is the casting choices of Hart and Wayans for the one-event. It is making a mockery of something they used to take seriously. Why not cast kids? Why go with adults? It turned this annual special into a joke for me. I just think it is a slap in Gary Coleman’s face to have Kevin Hart do it.
But Kimmel doesn’t take things seriously anyway, so why should he start now? Kimmel could redeem himself if he asks Todd Bridges to play Willis’ friend in that episode.

Will Ferrell was scheduled to do The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon and Ryan Reynolds was slated to do Jimmy Kimmel Live yesterday. However, they both showed up at the other actor’s talk show.
The two Spirited actors have created such a bond after harmonizing to Mika’s Grace Kelly that they are willing to do anything for the other one. Things like promote the other person’s project instead of their own during the other actor’s late night appearance. So, Ferrell talked about Netflix’s Red Notice while Reynolds divulged about The Shrink Next Door on Apple TV+. Both projects start streaming tomorrow.
What did they know about their roles? Nothing! That is what made this Freaky Friday on a Wednesday even funnier. I hope they do this again when their soon-to-be Christmas classic comes out at some time.
Do you think the hosts knew about the switch? I kind of feel like Kimmel didn’t, but I am not sure about Fallon.
Back when Billie Eilish was 12 years old, she made a bucket list. Yesterday, when she was on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host helped her check off all of the items that she hadn’t done yet.
The singer gave someone, in this case a fan, a haircut. The ABC late night host gave her a little white mouse that she named Marcus. So, you think she would give him a hug. Instead, she punched him a hug. Instead, she punched him in the gut. As payback, the “elderly man” had her kicked out of his studio, which was doubling as a Target.
Now, the only things left for her to do is grow her hair past her butt and ride a dolphin! However, punching Kimmel probably negated the remaining items!
Jacob Elordi made his in-person talk show debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live yesterday with Modern Family’s Julie Bowen as a host.
At the end of the interview, she asked The Kissing Booth star if they use stunt penises on Euphoria since there is so much nudity on it. “Eric’s [Dane] penis is not his real penis. It is a stunt penis,” he said. “When you come into the makeup trailer, they’re all kind of set up.”
Why are they being held there? Because the makeup artists have to give them a makeover so that they look like the real thing. Is it wrong that I want that job? How do I get the job?
Oh, and I am assuming that the merkins are all in the hair trailer. That would make sense, right?
