Watch Paul McCartney’s interview here when he appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Paul McCartney appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Friday, 2 October 2026, during the show's special week of tapings at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The 84-year-old music icon covered a wide variety of humorous, personal, and career-spanning topics during his interview:
Taylor Swift’s Wedding: McCartney spoke publicly for the first time about performing at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's star-studded July wedding. He revealed that Swift personally asked him to perform the 1964 Beatles classic "I Want to Hold Your Hand"—a song he had not played live since performing it with the band in 1964.
Larry David Concert Ban: Kimmel brought up an intimate show McCartney played at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles earlier in the year. McCartney joked that Curb Your Enthusiasm star Larry David would no longer be invited to his concerts because he didn't sing along to "Hey Jude".
New Music and Ringo Duet: McCartney promoted the upcoming special edition of his latest album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane. He explained how his new single, "Home To Us" (a duet with Ringo Starr), came together after they dusted off an old drum track Ringo had left behind in the studio.
Funny Personal Tidbits: The pair joked about how Jimmy once used the bathroom in McCartney's actual bedroom, what it was like for Paul growing up without grandparents, and how McCartney was once hilariously rejected from a Grammys party.
