However, ABC has vehemently denied these reports, labeling them as mere speculation. According to sources familiar with the situation, Kimmel's contract with ABC is not being renewed following its expiration in May 2027. The current season is scheduled to conclude in May 2027, marking the end of the iconic late-night show.\n\nStaff members are rumored to be discussing Jimmy Kimmel's potential ventures into other shows and podcasts. This news comes from TMZ, which claims that Kimmel has been actively pitching ideas to various outlets. Despite these rumors, ABC has firmly stated that the show is not being canceled.
