Molly McNearney, the wife of Jimmy Kimmel, comments on his potential retirement from late-night television.
Jimmy Kimmel is not finished entertaining audiences just yet.
In response to rumors that his late-night show Jimmy Kimmel Live! will conclude after this season, marking 24 years on air, ABC has clarified that the show has not been canceled.
“This information is inaccurate,” an ABC Entertainment spokesperson stated to E! News on September 8. “Any reports about the future of the show at this point are purely speculative.”
E! News has reached out to Kimmel’s representative but has not received a response.
In 2022, he signed a three-year contract that extends his show through 2027, although he has wavered on his decision regarding retirement.
“As you know, I was very intent on retiring right around the time when the strike started,” Kimmel, 58, mentioned on the Strike Force Five podcast in 2023. “And now I realize, ‘Oh yeah, it’s kinda nice to work.’
Making light of his indecision about retirement, he joked, “I’m Tom Brady without any rings or any fingers.”
