Tom Hanks and Olivia Rodrigo on Jimmy Kimmel Live
Tom Hanks and Olivia Rodrigo are both set to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live during the week of June 8, 2026. Two names that couldn't be more different, yet both land on the same late-night stage within the same week. That's the kind of lineup that makes you actually pay attention to the TV schedule.
A star-studded week on Jimmy Kimmel Live
Disney officially confirmed the guest roster for the upcoming week of Jimmy Kimmel Live, and it's a genuinely packed schedule. The show airs every weeknight at 11 :35 p.m. ET on ABC, and it streams the following day on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+, so you won't miss anything if you're already tracking what's available on streaming platforms.
Monday, June 8 opens strong : Tom Hanks sits down with Jimmy Kimmel to talk about Toy Story 5, accompanied by Eric Andre, promoting his project Little Brother. Tuesday, June 9 brings Colman Domingo (Disclosure Day), Patton Oswalt (Tea & Scotch), plus a live musical performance from The Chicks. That Tuesday slot is one of the denser nights of the week.
Then comes Wednesday, June 10, which is arguably the highlight of the entire week :
- Olivia Rodrigo, promoting her new album you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, appears as both a guest and a musical act
- Zlatan Ibrahimović drops by to discuss the 2026 FIFA World Cup
- Rodrigo returns as the musical guest, giving audiences two moments with her in a single episode
Thursday, June 11 rounds out the confirmed nights with Tim Allen, who also joins to talk Toy Story 5 alongside Jack Quaid from The Boys, with Olivia Rodrigo back once again as musical guest. Friday, June 12 remains TBC at time of writing.
Tom Hanks, Olivia Rodrigo : why these two appearances matter
Toy Story 5 is clearly one of the most anticipated releases in Pixar's pipeline right now, and having both Tom Hanks and Tim Allen appear on the same late-night show (though on different nights) is a deliberate promotional push. Hanks voices Woody, a character he's held since the original Toy Story back in 1995, which means this franchise has been running for over 30 years. That context alone makes any new installment worth following closely, especially for those monitoring which platforms will eventually carry the film.
Just as we track when Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt appeared on Good Morning America to promote their respective projects, late-night appearances by major stars are reliable signals that a release is imminent. Hanks on Kimmel on June 8 fits that pattern perfectly.
Olivia Rodrigo's situation is slightly different. She isn't just appearing to promote a film : her new album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, puts her in a more autonomous position as an artist. With three appearances across Wednesday and Thursday (one as a guest, two as musical act), her presence on the show this week is more than a cameo. It's a full rollout. Rodrigo's debut album SOUR sold over 1 million copies in its first week in the US alone back in 2021, so expectations around new material are genuinely high.

Where to watch and what to look for next
Jimmy Kimmel Live is produced by 12 :05 AM Productions, LLC, in association with KIMMELOT and 20th Television. Jimmy Kimmel, Erin Irwin, Molly McNearney, Jennifer Sharron, and David Craig serve as executive producers, with Douglas DeLuca as co-executive producer. That's a tight production team for a show that consistently delivers high-profile bookings week after week.
For anyone who follows streaming releases closely, the key thing to watch here is timing. Toy Story 5 hasn't yet been confirmed for a specific streaming window, but Pixar titles typically land on Disney+ within a few months of their theatrical run. Olivia Rodrigo's album, on the other hand, will hit music streaming platforms simultaneously with its release, so that's a more straightforward situation to monitor.
If you missed the live broadcast, the episodes stream the following day on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+. That's worth knowing if you're already subscribed to either platform and want to catch Hanks or Rodrigo without staying up past midnight. We'll keep an eye on any updates to Friday's lineup as they come in.
