On the 94th episode of season 8 of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, host Jimmy Kimmel welcomes Jon Hamm, J.B. Smoove, and Ralph Macchio to the show. Hamm, known for his roles in Mad Men and Baby Driver, is there to promote his new movie, The Report. Smoove, a comedian and actor, has recently appeared in films like Spider-Man: Far From Home and the TV series Curb Your Enthusiasm. Macchio, best known for his starring role in the Karate Kid franchise, is promoting his new YouTube series, Cobra Kai.

During the episode, Kimmel rattles off some recent news stories, including a viral video of a bear spotted opening a car door in a driveway. Kimmel then jokes that he's not surprised the bear was able to do that, saying "they're experts at opening doors, just look at every jar of honey you've ever seen."

Later, Kimmel and Hamm discuss The Report, which is based on true events surrounding the CIA's use of "enhanced interrogation techniques" following 9/11. Hamm plays a character based on a real-life FBI agent who helped uncover the program. Kimmel asks Hamm if he ever spoke to the real-life agent, and Hamm confirms that they had dinner together and that the agent was gracious enough to answer all of his questions.

The conversation then turns to Macchio and the Karate Kid franchise. Kimmel jokes that Macchio must be tired of talking about the movies by now, but Macchio disagrees, saying that the movies continue to resonate with fans of all ages. Macchio also talks about the making of Cobra Kai, saying that it was a unique experience to return to the character of Daniel LaRusso after so many years.

Smoove then joins the conversation, and the group discusses a range of topics, from sunburns to the proper pronunciation of the word "niche." Smoove also talks about how he got his start in comedy by impersonating his school principal, and he performs a brief impression for the audience.

Finally, the musical guest for the episode is the band Runner Runner, who perform their song "Hey Alli." The band, which has members from both America and the UK, is known for their upbeat pop rock sound.

Overall, the 94th episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! is a fun and lively conversation between Kimmel and his guests. Hamm, Smoove, and Macchio all bring their unique perspectives to the show, and the group's banter and jokes keep the energy high throughout the episode. Runner Runner's performance is also a highlight, offering a fun change of pace from the interviews.
