The show,which began in 2003 and has been one of the longest-running in late-night TV,is expected to conclude in May 2024 after 24 years. Kimmel&#8217;s tenure has notably included frequent political commentary, often attacking President Donald Trump, which some believe contributed to recent ratings declines. Despite reports, ABC has denied the end of the show, stating that any such details are speculative. Kimmel previously faced suspension for making false claims about Charlie Kirk\u2019s assassination, and he has been criticized for a series of polarizing comments and political stances. The landscape of late-night TV has seen significant changes recently, with other hosts losing their positions or shows ending, reflecting shifts in audience preferences and network strategies.

Entertainment disputed the report, telling Page Six the information was inaccurate. \u201cAny reports about the future of the show at this point are purely speculative,\u201d the network spokesperson said.<\/p>\n<p>Kimmel has hosted the show since 2003, making him one of network television\u2019s longest-running late-night hosts.<\/p>\n<p>As Page Six noted, the far-left host has made a habit of signing year-to-year contracts, which it noted is an unusual arrangement in the late-night format.<\/p>\n<p>The host has not commented on the report.<\/p>\n<p>Kimmel was suspended last September after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/kimmel-told-disney-going-double-charlie-kirk-lies-pulled-plug-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he lied<\/a> about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.<\/p>\n<p>In a September 2025 monologue, the host tried to portray Kirk\u2019s killer as a conservative Republican, despite having no evidence to support his claim.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize [suspect Tyler Robinson], who murdered Charlie Kirk, as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,\u201d Kimmel said.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\ud83d\udea8Jimmy Kimmel\u2019s Show To END After 24 Years<\/p>\n<p>Kimmel

networks.<\/p>\n<p>Samantha Bee, Conan O\u2019Brien, and James Corden were all taken off the air in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>Former CBS host of \u201cThe Late Show,\u201d Stephen Colbert, was ultimately
