Glen Powell Brings Brisket to Kimmel — and Chad Powers Season 2 News

Glen Powell knows how to make an entrance — and apparently so does his dog. The Top Gun: Maverick star touched down at Hollywood's El Capitan Theatre on Monday, August 24, with his fan-favorite pup Brisket riding shotgun, ahead of his sit-down on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Whether it was the cowboy boots or the four-legged co-star, Powell made sure his arrival was every bit as entertaining as what awaited him inside.

A Guest Host, a Famous Dog, and a Big Premiere to Plug

Powell's timing couldn't be more fun — he's stopping by during a guest-host week helmed by none other than Jelly Roll, who's taking over the Kimmel desk for a full run of episodes. It's the kind of late-night shake-up that keeps things fresh, and Jimmy Kimmel Live! has been no stranger to rotating hosts this season. According to Just Jared, Powell rocked a laid-back brown collared shirt, jeans, and brown cowboy boots for his appearance — casual cool with just enough Southern charm to match his on-screen alter ego.

Of course, the real scene-stealer was Brisket, Powell's beloved dog who has become something of an internet celebrity in his own right. The duo's joint arrival is exactly the kind of wholesome moment the internet lives for.

Chad Powers Is Back — and the Walls Are Closing In

Powell's Kimmel visit was all about drumming up excitement for Chad Powers Season 2, his Hulu comedy series that's shaping up to be one of the streamer's most entertaining fall offerings. If you missed Season 1, here's the quick rundown: Powell plays Russ, a quarterback who goes undercover as the fictional walk-on "Chad Powers" to keep playing the sport he loves. It's chaotic, charming, and wildly watchable.

Season 2 raises the stakes considerably. Chad may be a star on the field, but his increasingly bizarre off-field behavior has Coach Hudson and teammate Gerry growing more suspicious by the episode. The lie at the heart of the show is unraveling fast — and if Russ and his buddy Danny want Chad to survive the regular season and somehow guide the Catfish to the College Football Playoff, they're going to need help from the one person who least wants to give it: Ricky. Drama, football, and a fake identity spiraling gloriously out of control? Yes, please.

All six episodes of Chad Powers Season 2 drop on Thursday, September 3, exclusively on Hulu — and for Disney+ bundle subscribers, it'll be available through Hulu on Disney+ as well. Consider your binge-watch plans officially locked in.

Late Night Is Having a Moment

Powell's appearance lands during what's been a genuinely dynamic stretch for late-night TV. The Kimmel stage has been a busy place lately, with a rotating cast of guest hosts keeping viewers tuned in all summer long. Rosie O'Donnell, for instance, took the Kimmel desk and wasted absolutely no time making it her own, and the show has continued to deliver the kind of headline-grabbing moments fans expect — from Jacob Elordi breaking down Euphoria's most shocking scene to musicians like Guitarricadelafuente bringing something completely unexpected to the stage.

With Jelly Roll now behind the desk and Glen Powell charming everyone alongside his famous pup, this particular episode sounds like essential viewing — even before Chad Powers drops and gives us the full comedic chaos we've been waiting for.

Mark your calendar for September 3. Brisket would want you to.
