The syndicated late-night talker, which debuts on Sept. 9, will feature a variety of guests, including music, comedy, film, TV and sports stars.
"My first week of guests offers a taste of pop culture and represents the mix of talent I hope to have on my show every week," said Hall. "I am honored to welcome friends — both old and new — to my show. My goal is to have fun, make people laugh, and send viewers to bed with a smile on their face."
Actor and comedian Chris Tucker is slated to appear on the first episode of the show along with surprise guests.
The talker's premiere week also includes NCIS star Mark Harmon, magicians Penn & Teller, comedian George Lopez and American Horror Story: Coven star Angela Basset as well as musical guests Nas, Mac Miller, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Emblem3.
