Update: Jimmy Kimmel’s broadcasts from the SXSW conference in Austin, Texas will be far more high-profile than initially advertised.
ABC announced Monday that Lady Gaga and Lil Wayne will appear on episodes of this week’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”
Gaga joins the Thursday episode, for which “Scandal” actress Darby Stanchfield and musical guest The Preatures had already been confirmed.
Lil Wayne, meanwhile, enters as the lead interview guest on Friday’s edition. Fellow guests Willie Nelson and Los Lonely Boys were announced last week.
