ABC denies ‘inaccurate’ report ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ will end in 2027

Amid speculation about Jimmy Kimmel's late-night tenure coming to an end, ABC is pushing back.

On Sept. 8, Page Six reported that this season of "Jimmy Kimmel Live," will be its last. The 58-year-old host previously renewed his contract through May 2027.

The network swiftly responded, with an ABC Entertainment spokesperson telling USA TODAY, "This information is inaccurate – any reports about the future of the show at this point are purely speculative."

The report published hours before the show returns for its 25th season. The premiere will have appearances from actors Andrew Garfield and Joey King.
