ABC and Jimmy Kimmel have signed a deal for three additional seasons of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, meaning the late-night show will stick around through season 23. Kimmel has committed to continuing to host and executive producing the series which will celebrate its 20th anniversary in January 2023.
“After two decades at ABC, I am now looking forward to three years of what they call ‘quiet quitting,’” said Kimmel.
“For 20 years, Jimmy Kimmel has been a huge part of the ABC family and the heartbeat of late-night television,” stated Craig Erwich president, ABC Entertainment, Hulu & Disney Branded Television Streaming Originals. “Not only has he entertained our audiences night after night with his sharp comedy, dynamic interviews and irreverent humor, but he has gotten us through some of the most momentous events in our history with optimism and heart. There is no one funnier and more authentic than Jimmy. We are so proud of the incredibly talented team at Jimmy Kimmel Live! and could not be happier to continue our partnership.”
New episodes of Jimmy Kimmel Live! air weeknights at 11:35pm ET/PT. The series is shot at the El Capitan Entertainment Center in Hollywood and is executive produced by Kimmel, Erin Irwin, Molly McNearney, Jennifer Sharron, and David Craig. Douglas DeLuca is a co-executive producer.
The award-winning series has earned 12 consecutive Emmy nominations in the Outstanding Variety Talk Series category. It’s won three Primetime Emmys, a Writers Guild of America award, and a Critics Choice award.
