Report: Jimmy Kimmel LIve To End After 24 Years Following Host's Suspension And War Of Words With Trump
Jimmy Kimmel's late-night run may be coming to an end after 24 years. Sources told Page Six that Jimmy Kimmel Live! is expected to wrap up in 2027, with Kimmel's contract reportedly not being extended and his final episode possibly airing in May. However, ABC is pushing back on the report, calling any claims about the show's future "purely speculative." Kimmel's representatives also pointed to ABC's statement without directly denying the contract report. The alleged decision comes after a rocky stretch for Kimmel, including his suspension last year over controversial comments about the murder of Charlie Kirk. His show returned less than a week later and pulled in its biggest audience in more than a decade. Sources say President Trump's long-running feud with Kimmel is reportedly not behind the potential cancellation, with cost-cutting and restructuring at Disney and ABC being cited instead. There has also reportedly been chatter that Kimmel has been exploring other shows and podcast opportunities.
