Watch Audrey Hobert Twirl Her Way Through “Chateau” on Kimmel

When Audrey Hobert made her late-night TV debut on The Tonight Show last October, her playful performance of “Sue Me”—styled like a school talent show—went viral and brought her to the attention of a whole new audience. So she had some big shoes to fill on her second late-night outing, a performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Below, watch Hobert twirl her way through a rendition of “Chateau,” complete with a comically abridged guitar solo.

Hobert will close out a three-night run at New York’s Brooklyn Paramount this evening in support of her 2025 album Who‘s The Clown? She also recently contributed a co-write to close friend and collaborator Gracie Abrams’ Daughter from Hell, and dropped by the NPR offices to deliver her very own Tiny Desk Concert.
