Watch a sneak peek of the 'Scandal' finale after-party tonight on 'Kimmel'

Scandal won't go away without a parting shot: The gang will reunite on Jimmy Kimmel Live for a Scandal-themed show Thursday, April 19, at 10:35 p.m. after the final credits run.

The show will live on long after this finale, but TGIT won't quite be the same without it. Scandal changed the way people dressed (a clothing line for The Limited ); changed the way they consumed popcorn (with wine, please); and blasted the door off the hinges for powerful women of color on television (How to Get Away With Murder, Claws).

Creator Shonda Rhimes will join host Jimmy Kimmel. Stars Kerry Washington, Guillermo Diaz, Darby Stanchfield, Katie Lowes, Tony Goldwyn, Jeff Perry, Joshua Malina, Bellamy Young, Scott Foley, Joe Morton, Cornelius Smith Jr. and George Newbern will also crowd the set.
