It's understandable you'd be worried about the fate of "Life in Pieces." Since the end of season 3 in the spring, there's been an explosion of news about new projects the cast members and producers are taking on. That's usually the first (and sometimes only) sign of a cancellation. But not this time.

"Life in Pieces" has been renewed for a fourth season, which will premiere sometime over the winter (there's no firm date yet).

Jimmy Kimmel Live

We are on the road this week, coming to you from the Howard Gilman Opera House at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. I'm glad to be back. I had to come back. I still had $8 left on my Metrocard.

 

You know, there's a perception that New Yorkers are rude, and that really isn't true. There's just not a lot of phony chitchat that goes on in other places.
