Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel is staying with ABC, according to a Variety report. The comedy veteran has reportedly signed an extension deal with Disney that secures his tenure hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! until sometime in 2027, pushing his previous contract expiration date (believed to be 2026) further out.
Despite recent challenges, Jimmy Kimmel remains a cornerstone of ABC’s programming. Having joined the network in 2003, Kimmel has secured his place as one of network television’s longest-running late-night hosts, a commitment now solidified through a newly renewed deal with Disney lasting until 2027.
This renewal comes months after the host faced controversy and a brief “indefinite preemption” on over 30 Sinclair-owned ABC stations following comments made on his show in September 2025. Interestingly, the deal was reportedly signed last summer, before the drama occurred, and its public announcement was delayed out of respect for the news of Stephen Colbert’s show ending in May 2026.
