It was announced on Monday that ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel signed a one-year contract extension to remain at the network until at least May 2027, and when he took to the air that night, Kimmel made it obvious that a big reason why was to continue going after President Trump.
After reading a Truth Social post from Trump where he blasted 60 Minutes’s interview with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Kimmel sarcastically retorted, “Well, I'm sorry you feel that way about 60 Minutes, and the last thing I want to do is upset you during this sensitive time, but I have one more bit of entertainment news to share, and that is I have decided to extend my contract here at ABC for another year.”
Kimmel had previously mused on multiple occasions about retirement. However, Kimmel and his wife, Molly McNearney, who also serves as a writer and executive producer on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, have an overinflated view of their own importance to the future of democracy.
