Jimmy Kimmel is coming home to Brooklyn.
The Mill Basin native says he taking ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on the road to the East Coast for the first time, filming five shows at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in Fort Greene October 29 through November 2.
Kimmel, who made the announcement today while co-hosting “Live! With Kelly,” later told the Post he plans to embrace his hometown, incorporate the Nets’ arrival to Brooklyn into the show and visit his old neighborhood.
Although show lineups for Brooklyn have yet to be set, the host says he expects most guests will be from Brooklyn.
“I think it will be a fun week,” Kimmel, 44, joked. “If people want to take us into their homes, we have 100 staff members.”
Kimmel, who attended PS 236 in Mill Basin before moving with his family to Las Vegas when he was nine years old, said he never considered taking the show to Manhattan.
“We wanted to do something different,” he said. “We felt like there might be some more excitement in Brooklyn, and given my personal connection there, it seems to make a lot of sense.”
The NBA has yet to release next season’s schedule, but Kimmel said he’s been told the Nets will be playing their first home contest at the new Barclays Center while he’s in Brooklyn. He plans to attend the game and work the Nets into the show.
He says he’s a huge fan of the Nets’ new black-and-white look, even predicting their yet-to-be released jerseys will be “the best selling merchandise in all of sports” because “people love having the word ‘Brooklyn’ emblazoned on their clothing.”
Besides doing skits centering on the Nets and possibly Halloween, Kimmel plans to spend a lot of time on the tree-lined middle-class block he grew up on — East 64th Street by Avenue T.
“One thing for sure: I want to go to my old house, provided the people will let me in, and walk around my old neighborhood and talk to people and reminisce,” he said. “Maybe check out some of the local Brooklyn spots.”
“There will be a lot of eating as well,” added Kimmel, who says the Mill Basin Delicatessen on Avenue T will be one of the places he plans to hit.
He says some of his fondest memories as a youth are “running around until it got dark with the kids in the neighborhood” and hanging out by a nearby convenience store and trading baseball cards.
“I remember one of the great joys of my life was getting a Mets team card,” he said. “It was rare to get a Mets team card, and I traded it for like a 150 other Mets cards.”
Kimmel says even though he lives on the West Coast, he’s well aware of Brooklyn’s biggest booster, Borough President Marty Markowitz. When asked if the sometimes-comedic Beep is funny, Kimmel fired back, “with a name like Marty Markowitz, how can he not be funny?”
Kimmel says it’s hard to compare Los Angeles girls to Brooklyn girls because “there are no girls in LA. They are adults almost immediately.”
Meanwhile, Williamsburg’s notorious hipster community could be featured in the show.
“Everyone will be part of it, even the hipsters,” Kimmel said. “I don’t mind saying it because most hipsters don’t think of themselves as hipsters, which is part of being a hipster.”
And when asked by a Post reporter which newspaper he’ll be reading while in Brooklyn, Kimmel said “I will be reading all of the papers, especially yours.”
