Jimmy Kimmel’s one-year contract extension with ABC, signed in December 2025 and running through May 2027, underpins the market’s near-certain “No” consensus. The network reinstated the show after a brief 2025 suspension amid political criticism, demonstrating willingness to absorb external pressure rather than end the program. No verified announcements or credible reports of termination or resignation emerged in the final weeks before the May 31 deadline, even following renewed White House commentary in April 2026. While late-breaking personal circumstances, a major scandal, or an unforeseen corporate shift could theoretically intervene, the binding agreement and sustained network backing have left virtually no room for the outcome traders priced at 100 percent.
