Jimmy Kimmel has been a mainstay in late-night television for nearly a quarter of a century. However, insiders have confirmed that his network will not renew his contract.
The host was temporarily taken off the air during a controversial year following remarks about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Now, after returning Tuesday night from a summer break, Kimmel has begun his final season of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” with May 2027 marking the end of the show’s run. During his return broadcast, Kimmel did not address the claims and instead focused on celebrating his 4,000th show.
A source familiar with the situation stated that Kimmel’s contract is not being extended and that the move is allegedly unrelated to the Trump administration.
