GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump is booked for an appearance on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” next week.

The outspoken billionaire will join the late-night talk show for an episode to be taped in Brooklyn the week of Oct. 19, according to Entertainment Weekly.

“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” is broadcasting from the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Howard Gilman Opera House all next week.

{mosads}Trump’s appearance follows recent interviews on NBC’s “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” and CBS’s “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”

Reports emerged Tuesday that the real estate tycoon will also host NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” on Nov. 7.  He last hosted the show in April 2004.

Kimmel has repeatedly used Trump’s campaign as comedic material since the billionaire launched his bid in June.

In one sketch, Kimmel fooled supporters of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton into backing Trump’s tax plan.

In another, he released a faux campaign ad lampooning Trump’s vague policy positions.

In a third, he quizzed children to see if they could recognize pictures of the reality television star.

Comedian Tracy Morgan will also appear on Kimmel’s show the same night as Trump, according to Entertainment Weekly.

They join actors Bill Murray, Bradley Cooper and Michael J. Fox, ballet dancer Misty Copeland, radio host Howard Stern and rapper Jay-Z as next week’s confirmed guests.

Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Usher, Nicki Minaj, Ryan Adams, Esperanza Spalding, Public Enemy and Paul Shaffer are next week’s musical guests.
