ABC has extended late-night host Jimmy Kimmel’s contract with a one-year renewal. The extension, which was revealed on Monday, was made as Kimmel’s current multiyear deal is set to expire in May 2026.

The new contract means “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” will remain on air until no earlier than May 2027. His past contract renewals have generally been for multiple years.
