Jimmy Kimmel Live said it will film at the Brooklyn Academy of Music starting Monday, despite weather concerns and New York shutting down its mass transit system, according to the Daily Beast.

The show's cast and crew are flying to New York early and bringing backup generators in case of power failure.

“We are bringing in back-up generators and will be able to do our show in the event of a power failure,” a rep for told Entertainment Weekly. “We are also flying staff and crew out earlier to beat the storm. We have had no audience drop-outs so far despite news of the storm.”

The show has a star-packed week including Chris Rock, Kelly Ripa, and Stephen Colbert.
