SPOTTED: Earlier this week at SXSW, Samsung hosted Jimmy Kimmel Live and Entertainment Weekly to celebrate Jimmy’s March cover issue and the show’s return to Austin. Country superstar Brad Paisley performed a special rooftop performance to a packed house filled with SXSW attendees and celebrity guests including Julia Louis-Dreyfus (VEEP), Danielle Brooks (Orange Is The New Black), Constance Zimmer (Results), and iZombie cast members Robert Buckley, David Anders, Rahul Kohli, Malcolm Goodwin.


Attendees at the Samsung Studio fete in downtown Austin sipped on Ketel One Vodka crafted cocktails throughout the night and filled up on classic Texas BBQ. Here are some fun tidbits from the event:

· Immediately upon arrival, guest of honor Jimmy Kimmel stopped by the bar to enjoy a Ketel One Vodka National Republic of Texas specialty cocktail and mingled with friends and family who came out to celebrate.

· Following the cocktail hour, guests were treated to a special rooftop performance by country superstar Brad Paisley and his surprise guest performers, including Ray Benson (Asleep At The Wheel), whose new album Brad will be making an appearance on. Kimmel sat front and center during the show, joining Brad Paisley on stage to sing a Huey Lewis and The News classic. Jimmy Kimmel called Guillermo Rodriguez on stage to dance as the duo performed.

· Emmy Award winning VEEP star Julia Louis-Dreyfus arrived later in the evening, looking stunning in a black lace dress as she played it up for the cameras and danced to Paisley’s jams.

· Results star, Constance Zimmer playfully posed with her friends in the Samsung Galaxy GIF activation. GLEE star and producer Jenna Ushkowitz donned a black jumper and was seen hamming it up while snapping selfies with her Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

· Jimmy’s close childhood friend Cleto Escobedo Jr. of the Jimmy Kimmel Live house band Cleto and the Cletones also got onstage to play with the band and was even joined with his father, Cleto Escobedo Sr. who has known Jimmy his whole life.
