Sorry Not canceled

Jimmy Kimmel Live! has not been canceled. ABC Entertainment officially denied a recent report claiming the show would end in May 2027, calling the rumors "inaccurate" and "purely speculative

That is always what they say. It is always a denial before the real truth comes out. Announcements like these take time, there are contracts that need to be figured out, agreements with affiliates worked out, and they need to watch the timing of the news.

It could even be a flex where it comes out later this year that his show may not be done this year, but at the end of his current contract in a year or two.

And sometimes, celebrities and even the networks will leak rumors to seek out a better contract negotiation leverage. Or even a temporary ratings boost now that your contract or the news that the show may be ending is in people’s minds.

Howard Stern was a master of deception.
