ABC denies 'inaccurate' report 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' will end in 2027
Page Six cites sources saying Kimmel’s contract will not be extended, while ABC says the report about the show’s future is inaccurate.
- 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.'
