Jimmy Kimmel Live! will continue running on ABC for at least another year after Jimmy Kimmel struck a deal with Disney to keep his show on the air. The late-night host’s deal with the network was reportedly set to end in 2026, but has now been extended to 2027, according to Variety.

In September, Kimmel’s talk show was suspended following comments he made about Charlie Kirk‘s alleged murderer. The decision came after affiliates Nexstar and Sinclair announced they would be pulling Jimmy Kimmel Live! from programming on their stations, leading Disney to also axe the program.
