Jimmy Kimmel has struck a deal with Disney to extend his late-night show for another year.

Three months after Jimmy Kimmel Live! was briefly suspended in September, the comedian’s contract will now take the show through May 2027.

Kimmel’s current deal with Disney, the owner of ABC, was set to end in May 2026.
