'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' is now the longest running late night show still on the air, and the host just signed a new contract extension with ABC for 3 more years.
His trip home had become an annual tradition until COVID canceled it for a couple of years.
"It always feels great to be back in Brooklyn, but it feels especially great because we've been trapped," Kimmel said. "It feels like the world is getting back to normal even though everyone on my staff still has a mask on." To promote his lineup of guests this week, the star used the Ocky Way, recruiting the TikTok-famous bodega manager from Red Hook to explain who will be on the show.
"First we start with Jimmy Kimmel," Rahim "General Ock" Mohamed said. "Then we add the guests. We put David Letterman on the show. Then, we add Amy Schumer, then Ben Stiller, Mila Kunis, Jason Bateman, Tracy Morgan...and we spice it up with music."Many decades have passed since Kimmel's family left Brooklyn and moved to Las Vegas, but the star's ties to the old neighborhood remain strong.
