Jimmy Kimmel extends contract with Disney’s ABC Network through 2027

AI Summary
Jimmy Kimmel has extended his contract with Disney's ABC Network for one year, ensuring he will host "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" through at least 2027. The agreement between Kimmel and Disney was reached months ago but the announcement was delayed out of respect for Stephen Colbert, whose show was cancelled. Kimmel's renewal follows a brief suspension of his show by ABC in September due to controversial comments he made regarding the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The suspension sparked debate over free speech and government pressure on media outlets. Kimmel's continued presence on ABC signifies a continued partnership between the host and the network.
