Jimmy Kimmel humorously thanked Donald Trump for helping him become Google’s third most trending person in the world in 2025. Despite being suspended in September, Kimmel highlighted Trump’s ongoing public criticism and suggested the President is a loyal viewer who ironically contributes to his show’s success.

Jimmy Kimmel’s future on his eponymous late-night talk show has been revealed after his shocking suspension earlier this year. ABC has offered him a one-year contract extension for “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” His previous multiyear contract was set to expire in May 2026.

It would be an understatement to say that this has been an eventful year for long-running talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live! This past September, Kimmel’s show was suspended by ABC due to comments he made in relation to the death of political pundit Charlie Kirk.

The agreement was reached months ago, but Kimmel and Disney reportedly held off making the announcement out of respect for late-night host Stephen Colbert.

In December 2025, rumors circulated online that talk show host and comedian Jimmy Kimmel had delivered his "final monologue" on his show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in which he heavily criticized U.S. President Donald Trump.

McNearney admitted that when she was asked to deliver the keynote speech at WIE, she had a bout of impostor syndrome: “I came up with ‘Mean Tweets’ on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and I’ve been asked to talk about the Bill of Rights?” So she did what a lot of people do when they feel overwhelmed and started scrolling on Instagram.

President Trump said late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel’s show was pulled off the air indefinitely by ABC because of ‘bad ratings’ and ‘lack of talent.’ Disney said it is pulling ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel’s show in the wake of remarks he made about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

In his latest monologue, Jimmy Kimmel mocked Trump for going "completely off the rails" by firing off over 150 Truth Social posts in one night.
