Jimmy Kimmel is excited to stay on the air for another year. The Jimmy Kimmel Live! host addressed his one-year contract extension with ABC during the Monday, December 8, episode of his late night show, to much enthusiasm from his studio audience. Kimmel, 58, joked that the show would stay on the air until May 2027 - "or until the world ends, whichever comes first." "I thought about it, I gave it a lot of thought, and decided I would like to spend less time with my family," the comedian went on to quip.
