Jimmy Kimmel Live! is heading back to Brooklyn for a week of shows from the Brooklyn Academy of Music, airing Monday, September 28 through Friday, October 2. The trip will mark Kimmel’s eighth week of shows from Brooklyn, with free ticket requests available at KimmelInBrooklyn.com.

Kimmel’s shows at the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Howard Gilman Opera House will feature an all-star lineup of guests, following previous visits that included surprise appearances from Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart, and Matt Damon. 'In Brooklyn, you grow up — at least I did — all packed together,' Kimmel said, reflecting on his connection to the borough.

Guests for Kimmel’s Brooklyn shows will be announced at a later date, and fans can secure tickets to the run at kimmelinbrooklyn.com. The special episodes, which will take place in front of a live studio audience, will mark Kimmel’s seventh time broadcasting from the borough.

Last year’s visit proved especially fertile ground for late-night crossovers, with Stephen Colbert and Daily Show correspondent Josh Johnson among Kimmel’s scheduled guests, and Seth Meyers and Jon Stewart making surprise appearances. Matt Damon also renewed his long-running made-for-TV feud with Kimmel on the final night.
