This week's schedule

The week begins with Billie Eilish performing on The Late Late Show with James Corden on Monday, and later in the week, her talented sibling and collaborator Finneas appears on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Wednesday night. That same evening, look for Gary Clark Jr. on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Vampire Weekend on Corden.

As we get further into December, holiday music will be finding its way into more programming, and that's likely what we can expect from She & Him on Kimmel on Tuesday night.

Reruns this week include a very recent encore of Angel Olsen's December 4 performance on Kimmel. Meanwhile on Austin City Limits, look for Dan Auerbach's fantastic set on that show from February 2018.

Here's the complete rundown. Check your local listings for broadcast times (schedule subject to change).
