About the show

Jimmy Kimmel hosts the Emmy Award-winning late-night talk show, which broadcasts from the El Capitan Entertainment Centre on Hollywood Boulevard. Kimmel, Erin Irwin, Molly McNearney, Jennifer Sharron and David Craig are the executive producers, and the show is made by 12:05 AM Productions in association with KIMMELOT and ABC Signature. Past episodes live at abc.com and on the show's YouTube channel if you want a preview of the format before you go.

How to get in

The request goes through 1iota, the official audience service for the show. The ticket is free, but it is not a guaranteed seat. Services like this overbook on purpose, so a ticket gets you priority in line, not a promise of admission. The source lists a minimum age of 18, so plan on bringing no one younger.

Arrive early, bring a photo ID, and expect a wait before you are seated. The listing does not give a street address or parking details, so look at your confirmation from 1iota for the check-in location and arrival instructions before you drive. This is one of the more reliable upcoming events in Los Angeles for a night out that costs nothing, but the lack of a guaranteed seat means you should line up a backup plan.
