Disney Extends 🤬 Jimmy Kimmel… But Why?!

Disney Extends Jimmy Kimmel Live! Until May 2027 — Whether You Asked for It or Not In a move that absolutely no one had on their 2025 bingo card, Disney has decided to keep Jimmy Kimmel on late-night TV for yet another year. Yes, Jimmy Kimmel Live!—the show that’s been running since 2003, long enough to rent a car without extra fees—is now locked in until May 2027. According to Bloomberg, Kimmel and Disney reportedly reached this deal months ago but held off announcing it out of respect for Stephen Colbert, whose own show was abruptly yeeted into the CBS graveyard back in July. Colbert will officially go off the air in May 2026, clearing the late-night stage for… well… whatever is left of late-night by then. Kimmel’s show, which briefly paused in September after he made controversial comments about conservative activist Charlie Kirk, bounced back to an average of 1.8 million viewers per night. Sure, that’s down from the golden days of late-night TV, but in today’s streaming-obsessed world, 1.8 million feels like a cultural miracle — practically a Super Bowl by comparison. But like all late-night shows still staggering around trying not to collapse, Jimmy Kimmel Live! is dealing with shrinking audiences, fierce streaming competition, and the financial burden of producing segments that require actual humans. Networks reportedly love the prestige of late-night… just not the whole “spending money” part. Kimmel had considered exiting in May 2026, likely dreaming of sleep or hobbies, but he ultimately decided not to bow out the same month Colbert’s show gets unplugged. Evidently, the late-night universe can only handle one dramatic departure at a time. Disney (DIS), parent company of ABC, seems confident in Kimmel’s staying power — or at least confident that replacing a late-night host in 2026 sounded like too much paperwork.
