Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live

Two Hollywood legends on the same talk show in the same week — that's the kind of lineup that makes you stop scrolling. Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn are both set to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live during the week of April 27, 2026, and it's safe to say the late-night schedule looks particularly stacked this time around.

Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn on Jimmy Kimmel Live : what to expect

Goldie Hawn stops by on Wednesday, April 29, promoting her children's project The After-School Kindness Crew. The actress and producer, who has been a fixture in Hollywood since the late 1960s, rarely makes TV appearances these days — which makes this one worth noting. She'll share the couch with Asif Ali and Saagar Shaikh, who are promoting their comedy series Deli Boys, and the night wraps up with a live performance by Duran Duran featuring Nile Rodgers. Not a bad Wednesday.

Then comes Thursday, April 30, with Meryl Streep — and the reason for her visit is significant. She's there to talk about The Devil Wears Prada 2, the long-awaited sequel to the 2006 fashion world satire that became a cultural milestone. Streep, a three-time Academy Award winner, doesn't do late-night often. Her appearance alongside Desi Lydic, correspondent on The Daily Show, rounds out what shapes up to be one of the stronger episodes of the season. For anyone tracking where to watch content tied to these projects, Jimmy Kimmel Live airs every weeknight at 11 :35 p.m. ET on ABC, then streams the following day on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.

The full guest lineup for the week of April 27

Beyond Streep and Hawn, the rest of the week brings a solid mix of talent across genres. Here's the complete breakdown of confirmed guests :

The variety here is real. From mentalism to grilling culture, from indie rock to iconic fashion sequels, Jimmy Kimmel Live clearly positions itself as a broad-audience show. The production involves a serious team behind the scenes : Jimmy Kimmel, Erin Irwin, Molly McNearney, Jennifer Sharron and David Craig serve as executive producers, with Douglas DeLuca as co-executive producer. The show itself is produced by 12 :05 AM Productions, LLC, in association with KIMMELOT and 20th Television.

Why these appearances matter beyond the talk-show moment

Streep promoting The Devil Wears Prada 2 on late-night TV signals something broader : major studios are betting on legacy sequels to capture both nostalgic audiences and new viewers discovering titles through streaming platforms. The original film pulled in over $326 million at the worldwide box office back in 2006 — a number that, adjusted for inflation, makes the sequel one of the more commercially anticipated projects of the year.

Goldie Hawn's involvement with The After-School Kindness Crew reflects a different side of her career. Through her nonprofit foundation MindUP, which she launched in 2003, Hawn has long advocated for children's mental health and social-emotional learning. This project fits squarely into that mission, giving her appearance on Kimmel a purpose beyond simple promotion.

We track which films and series land on streaming platforms — and projects promoted on high-visibility shows like this one tend to generate a clear spike in audience searches. Just as we recently covered Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt appearing on Good Morning America, these TV moments often precede streaming premieres or theatrical releases that fans will want to follow closely.

Keep an eye on Hulu and Disney+, where episodes of Jimmy Kimmel Live land the day after broadcast. If you miss either of these interviews live, that's your fallback — and given the caliber of guests this week, catching them on demand seems like a reasonable plan.

• Meryl Streep appears Thursday, April 30 to discuss The Devil Wears Prada 2
• Goldie Hawn visits Wednesday, April 29 for The After-School Kindness Crew
• Episodes stream the next day on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+
• The show airs at 11 :35 p.m. ET on ABC every weeknight

Two iconic names, two very different projects, one week of television worth adding to your watch list. Whether you follow either actress for their film work or their broader cultural presence, this is one of those lineups where the couch matters as much as what's being promoted.
