The report
Page Six, citing a source, said ABC will not extend Kimmel's contract and the show ends after its 24th season, with a finale in May 2027. TMZ carried the report.
The denial
ABC called the information inaccurate and said any reports about the show's future are speculative. Kimmel taped his first show back the same night.
The reaction
The largest rooms treat it as done and tie it to his Charlie Kirk remarks and Trump jokes. A second set notes the denial but argues late night is fading anyway. Fans marked the return.
