Later... with Jools Holland (previously known as Even Later... with Jools Holland, Later Live... with Jools Holland and ...Later with Jools Holland) is a contemporary British music television show hosted by Jools Holland. A spin-off of The Late Show, it has been running in short series since 8 October 1992. The day of transmission has varied over the years - it was usually recorded on a Tuesday for Saturday broadcast; as of 2025, it is shown on Sunday nights. The show features a mixture of both established and new musical artists, from solo performers to bands and larger ensembles.
The show is considered an institution, having millions of fans around the world. It is currently broadcast in America on MTV Live (formerly known as Palladia); previously it had been shown on Ovation, BBC America, Fuse, and Dave. The Ovation and Fuse broadcasts leave out several performances (and usually one or two performers entirely) to air commercials within a one-hour timeslot. It is also shown in Australia on the UKTV channel and ABC2, in Canada on HIFI and AUX TV, in Germany on ZDFkultur, in Spain on Canal+ Xtra, in Croatia on HRT 2, in Latin America on Film&Arts and in Belgium, France, Portugal, Switzerland, and the United Arab Emirates on iConcerts HD, and in Ireland on TG4.
The 200th programme was broadcast on 1 February 2008. The 250th edition was broadcast in September 2010.
