Jimmy Kimmel has signed a one-year extension with Disney’s ABC Network and will continue to host Jimmy Kimmel Live! through at least 2027, the Guardian has confirmed.
Bloomberg first reported the news on Monday, noting that Kimmel and Disney struck a new one year extension. His current contract had been set to expire in May 2026.
Kimmel and Disney agreed on the extension several months ago but delayed announcing their plans out of respect for fellow late-night host Stephen Colbert, according to Bloomberg.
This summer, CBS announced that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert had been cancelled and would end in May 2026.
The news of Kimmel’s renewal on Monday comes several months after Kimmel’s show was briefly suspended by ABC in September under pressure from two of the network’s biggest affiliate partners, Nexstar and Sinclair, as well as the Federal Communications Commission. Kimmel had made comments related to the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, specifically accusing Donald Trump’s political movement of exploiting Kirk’s killing.
His suspension drew widespread outrage and ignited a national debate over free speech.
The US-based free speech advocate group the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression said at the time of the suspension that it was an example of another media outlet that had “withered under government pressure, ensuring that the administration will continue to extort and exact retribution on broadcasters and publishers who criticize it.
“We cannot be a country where late night talk show hosts serve at the pleasure of the president. But until institutions grow a backbone and learn to resist government pressure, that is the country we are.”

Big time.
Big time.
Pronto.
It’s too bad he didn’t stay fired.
A, it’s not. B. ABC owns 8 TV stations so even they did, 240 or so affiliates would still carry Kimmel’s nonsense.
“240 or so affiliates would still carry Kimmel’s nonsense.”
Shut them down. Arrest them all.
You got that right!
Walt HAS to be spinning in his grave!
One of hundreds of reasons to despise Disney
Vanguard, JPMorgan Chase, and BlackRock are for all intents and purposes and purposes Disney, so nothing happens in that septic tank that isn’t approved by them…all the woke shit, filth and faggotry that is aimed at destroying traditional families and our children’s mental health. As long as morons happily go into debt at the amusement parks, gleefully handing over cash while being overcharged for parking, entry, crappy food and beverages and even crappier overpriced souvenirs, my BIL works at Disney Anaheim and has taken us to the employee store and if you could see the price reductions on the crap they couldn’t sell to the ‘guests’ you would be amazed….and they are still excessively profiting on their employees. It would make Walt proud, the profits not the faggotry, he was one greedy MoFo!
Always
Been
Communistic
Disney pissing away more money to drive an agenda. They are losing $40-$60 million a year on this clown.
Objectively, Kimmel is not funny or entertaining. Last I heard his audience level was trending south. He must have incriminating pictures of an ABC executive with Donald Duck? Maybe a video of a three way Darth Vader and Chewbacca?
I have never watched a single episode of his show, but then again I knew Johnny Carson for many years, so why would I?
One year, just postponing the inevitable with a likely salary adjustment and other cuts. It’s a way to ease out bad talent on a good note.
Who is Jimmy Kimmel and why should I care?
AND, I REALLY don’t care for the Disney ABC network!
When Walt died, Disney went to the Dark Side, and over the years, they have got worser and worser!
Kimmel has less then 200,000 viewers...
Any other show would do better!
Dizzyknee world is actually a deceptive illusion, designed , as you say, to traduce the family structure of America.
With kids on social media platforms, one visit to a Dizzyknee blog will lead them to connect with a host of pedophiles and human traffickers.
I have to laugh at thse who consider any of their hell holes “entertainment.” I refuse to watch any of thei rmovies.
Dizzyknee can’t croak fast enough to suit me.
The creation of “furries” is largely a Dizzyknee initiative,Pedophiles who dress up to groom children.
Bunch of sickos.
His seven viewers will be happy.
