Jimmy Kimmel Live! may stick around for another year. Kimmel’s current contract runs through May, but Disney and ABC are now in talks to bring the series back for at least another season.
However, some changes could come. Deadline reports that cuts could happen to the series if it is brought back for another season. The following was revealed:
“Kimmel and Disney are in those talks at the moment. The wrinkle? ABC reportedly is keen to cut the budget of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, a move that is becoming increasingly commonplace in late-night television.
This is what happened to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert before CBS axed the entire franchise. Late Night with Seth Meyers also has seen its fair share of cuts recently, including the axing of the 8G band with Meyers taking particularly long breaks to cut down on the number of production weeks.”
Kimmel could stick around, even with the cuts, because he may want to outlast Trump’s presidency while battles in the media continue.
What do you think? Do you enjoy Jimmy Kimmel Live!? Do you want it renewed for another season?
