Love Thy Nader, and respect thy agent.
At least, those are the commandments Brooks Nader and Jimmy Kimmel are following amid their unlikely collaboration for Brooks’ upcoming Freeform reality series, which sees her along with sisters Mary Holland Nader, 26, Grace Ann Nader, 24, and Sarah Jane Nader, 23, navigate New York City life.
“The way that the show came about was Jimmy and the girls and I shared the same agent,” Brooks told E! News in an exclusive interview ahead of the series’ premiering on Hulu Aug. 26. “I feel like he was a great addition to the team.”
Indeed, Brooks, 28, shared that while an unlikely piece, Jimmy fit right into their dynamic.
“He brings a lot of comedic relief during tough times in the world,” Brooks continued. “We’ve always been fans of his show and so whenever it was positioned to us for him to be a producer, he hadn’t done anything like this, we were so honored and humbled.” (For more from Brooks and her sisters, tune into E!

And considering the new series follows the Nader sisters as they follow in Brooks’ model footsteps—trading their small Louisiana hometown for the big city—the entire family was floored to have the late night host on board.
“We got to take our parents to one of his live shows in Brooklyn last year and it was the highlight of their lives,” Brooks added. “I think it was such a full circle pinch me moment.”
Jimmy, for his part, has already made it clear to the Nader family that he is taking his EP role extremely seriously.
“Anything he does, he works really hard on,” Brooks explained. “ He doesn’t take it lightly.”

The Live! host has already proved as much by making a cameo in a TikTok the Nader sisters made to promote the series. Alongside the video shared to their Instagram account April 24, Brooks gushed, “Somehow convinced @jimmykimmel to join our chaos!!”
As for what that chaos will entail? Brooks—whose breakup from Dancing With the Stars’ Gleb Savchenko has made headlines—assures that nothing is left off limits in the upcoming series.
“We let it all out there,” she explained. “You see all of it.”
