After the opening, audiences are treated to a segment called "Lie Witness News" where a correspondent interviews pedestrians on the street about fake news stories. This segment is always hilarious and shows how easily people can be fooled by false stories.
Next, Jimmy welcomes his first guest of the evening - actor and comedian Jim Gaffigan. Known for his stand-up and roles in movies like "Super Troopers" and "Three Kings," Jim is a fan favorite and always provides laughs when he stops by Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

They are known for their energetic live performances and have released several successful albums over the years. THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS performs one of their hit songs on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! stage and gets the crowd pumped up for the rest of the evening.
To close out the show, Jimmy does a bit called "Mean Tweets" where he reads mean tweets that have been directed at celebrities. The celebrities themselves are in on the joke and typically respond with a sense of humor. It's always entertaining to see how celebrities handle criticism and it's a great way to wrap up the show on a high note.
