Jimmy Kimmel Announces “The Late Showdown: Super Bowl Halftime Special” — Promises Laughs, Roast, and a Few Regrets Live on Air.
In a move that’s already making headlines across entertainment media, Jimmy Kimmel has announced “The Late Showdown: Super Bowl Halftime Special” — a live broadcast airing opposite the official 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show.
a According to Kimmel, the special will be “part halftime show, part roast, and part therapy session for America.” The event will feature celebrity guests, parody ads, and what the network calls “the most chaotic halftime monologue in television history.”
“We’re Not Competing with the Super Bowl — We’re Distracting From It.”
During Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host teased the project, saying:
“The NFL has dancers and fireworks. I have celebrities who owe me favors and a stage big enough for chaos.”
Sources claim Kimmel’s team is already booking comedians, surprise musical acts, and possibly a live fact-check segment aimed at Super Bowl ads. One insider joked, “Think Oscars meets tailgate — but everyone’s slightly confused.”
Viewers React
Fans cheered the announcement online, calling it “the halftime show for people who don’t know the rules of football.” Critics, meanwhile, warned that “Kimmel might roast the entire NFL before the third quarter.” Even rival hosts weighed in, with Stephen Colbert posting: “Finally, someone brave enough to make halftime political and funny.”
