ABC denies 'inaccurate' report 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' will end in 2027
ABC says reports that Jimmy Kimmel Live! will end in 2027 are inaccurate, as the show begins its new season with 4,000 episodes aired.
- On Tuesday, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel resumes duties on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' following a voluntary summer break, welcoming Andrew Garfield and Joey King as first-week guests.
- Reports from the New York Post's Page Six suggest 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' will air its final season in 2027, though ABC Entertainment spokespeople denied the claims as 'purely speculative' and 'inaccurate.'
- During his hiatus, Kimmel hosted 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire,' which drew more than 4 million viewers, up 9% from last year, while guest hosts including Rosie O'Donnell filled the late-night slot.
- The show competes for Best Variety Series at the Emmy Awards on September 14, where former 'Late Show' host Stephen Colbert endorsed Kimmel, saying, 'I think we can all agree that Jimmy Kimmel deserves an Emmy.'
- Amid broader industry shifts including CBS's 2025 cancellation of Colbert's program, Kimmel remains a vocal critic of President Donald Trump despite past backlash over his political commentary.
