Embrace the Spirit of Nader, and hold your agent in high esteem. Such are the guiding principles that Brooks Nader and Jimmy Kimmel are adhering to in their unanticipated partnership for Brooks' forthcoming Freeform reality series. This venture chronicles her journey alongside her sisters, Mary Holland Nader, 26, Grace Ann Nader, 24, and Sarah Jane Nader, 23, as they traverse the vibrant landscape of New York City.
"The inception of the show was serendipitous; Jimmy, the girls, and I shared the same agent," Brooks revealed exclusively to E! News, prior to the series' debut on Hulu on August 26. "I felt he was a remarkable addition to our ensemble."
Indeed, Brooks, 28, shared that despite the unexpected pairing, Jimmy seamlessly integrated into their vibrant dynamic. "He injects an abundance of comedic levity amidst challenging times," Brooks continued. "We've long admired his show, so when the opportunity arose for him to serve as a producer—a role uncharted for him—we were deeply honored and humbled." (For further insights from Brooks and her sisters, tune in to E! News tonight, August 25, at 11 p.m.)
Considering the new series tracks the Nader sisters' footsteps into modeling, trading their quaint Louisiana hometown for the bustling metropolis, having the late-night host on board was a dream come true for the entire family. "Taking our parents to one of his live shows in Brooklyn last year was the pinnacle of their lives," Brooks added. "It was a surreal, full-circle moment."
Jimmy, on his part, has made it unequivocally clear to the Nader family that he takes his executive producer role with utmost seriousness. "He applies immense dedication to everything he undertakes," Brooks elaborated. "He doesn't treat it lightly."
The Live! host has already demonstrated his commitment by making a cameo in a TikTok video created by the Nader sisters to promote the series. Alongside the April 24 Instagram post of the video, Brooks enthused, "Somehow, I convinced @jimmykimmel to dive into our chaotic world!!"
Regarding the essence of this chaos, Brooks—whose split from Dancing With the Stars' Gleb Savchenko garnered headlines—assures that nothing is off-limits in the upcoming series. "We bare it all," she explained. "You witness every aspect."
