Kimmel Contract Extension Sparks Controversy and Trump-Fueled Ratings Claims
Confirmed by The Guardian, Jimmy Kimmel has reached an agreement with Disney’s ABC Network to extend his contract and continue hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! until at least 2027. Bloomberg initially reported the one-year extension, which was agreed upon months ago. This announcement follows the news of Stephen Colbert’s show cancellation and Kimmel’s brief suspension in September due to comments regarding the killing of Charlie Kirk. The situation sparked a national debate over free speech.
