ABC Refutes Claims That Jimmy Kimmel Will Not Return to ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’

A recent report suggested that ABC would not extend Jimmy Kimmel’s contract for his late-night show. However, an ABC spokesperson stated that such reports are inaccurate and purely speculative.

Kimmel, a longtime critic of President Trump who has hosted the show since 2003, has traded jabs with the president throughout his second term.

The news comes after Rosie O’Donnell completed a four-night guest-hosting run on Kimmel’s show, which was a ratings success. During that stint, O’Donnell went viral for performing a parody of the traditional Irish song “Danny Boy” as “Donnie Boy,” mocking President Trump.

Insiders say the decision to renew Kimmel’s contract is unlikely to be related to his antagonistic relationship with the Trump administration.
