LOS ANGELES — After an unusual year in his late-night tenure, Jimmy Kimmel is officially sticking around for a little while longer.

The late-night host signed a one-year contract extension with ABC and “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” will continue through May 2027. Kimmel’s previous contract was set to end in May 2026, at the end of the 2025-2026 television season.

The extension, first reported by Bloomberg, comes a few months after the network and its parent company, Walt Disney Co., suspended Kimmel following sharp backlash over comments he made about conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s death. Nexstar Media Group and Sinclair Broadcast Group, owners of ABC affiliates, said they would not air the series after Kimmel’s comments hours before the indefinite suspension was announced.
