Alex Honnold might be the closest thing this industry has to a household name. Tonight, he'll be on TV screens in houses across the U.S., too.

Catch Honnold on Jimmy Kimmel Live at 11:35 p.m. Eastern / 10:35 p.m. Central Time. 

Honnold, 31, recently free soloed El Capitan in Yosemite, and is the only person to have done so. We assume he'll probably have something to say about that, but we also really hope he brings up the unicorn climber he saw along the way.

We'll be sure to share the video tomorrow if you miss it tonight!
