Adam Brody Made His First Appearance On ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ Since 2007

Buy Me A Coffee

Cue the triumphant return music—It’s been 17 years, people! That’s almost two decades of Adam Brody dodging Jimmy Kimmel, but the prodigal actor has finally returned to the late-night couch to talk about his Netflix hit, “Nobody Wants This!” Honestly, with a title like that, Netflix must be thriving.

Brody, now a dashing 44 years old (but still rocking that eternally youthful Seth Cohen charm), graced the show on October 3rd in Los Angeles. Yes, we know, “Seth Cohen” is not his actual name, but let’s be real—it’s the role that lives rent-free in all our heads.

Of course, what’s a Kimmel appearance without a little bit of spicy gossip? Jimmy, the king of talk show awkwardness, didn’t disappoint. He immediately brought up that time Adam had to gasp smooch his long-time pal Kristen Bell on-screen. The catch? He’s been friends with Kristen and her husband, Dax “I Own a Million Podcasts” Shepard, for years. So, naturally, Kimmel wanted the dirty details. Awkward tension? A sudden burst of chemistry? Cringe-worthy weirdness?

Brody, cool as a cucumber in a snowstorm, casually downplayed it like he was describing a trip to Trader Joe’s. “Because we know each other, it’s less strange, as strange as that might sound,” he said. He then tried to act like kissing Kristen was just another day at the office: “I don’t know, I mean, I think there’s some trust there, some familiarity.” Oh, Adam, we see right through that! We all know there was probably a five-second mental panic screaming, “DAX IS WATCHING ME.”

Jimmy, sensing he was only scratching the surface of the cringe factor, pressed on like the persistent talk show host he is. “So, Adam,” he asked slyly, “are you hanging out with Kristen and Dax more now, or are you avoiding eye contact at all costs?”

Brody, ever the diplomat, dodged the landmine with expert precision. “That is a good question,” he said, stalling like a pro. “That might be the litmus test. But, not really. They live on the east side, I live on the west side. I think that’s fine.” Translation: they live far enough away that I won’t accidentally bump into them at Whole Foods. “But Dax is always moaning, ‘Oh, I wish you lived on the east side so we could hang out more.’” Brody added with a chuckle.

Classic Dax. Always whining about the inconvenient geographical location of his friends, as if Hollywood actors don’t spend half their lives stuck in traffic anyway.

Adam Brody’s back on Kimmel after 17 years, still effortlessly cool, kissing his friends, and dodging awkward hangouts with Dax Shepard. Can’t wait to see what happens in another 17 years. Maybe a road trip to the east side? Stay tuned.
