LOS ANGELES, May 8: Popular late-night host Jimmy Kimmel has extended his contract for ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ for another two years, keeping him at the ABC network until at least January 2017.
The 46-year-old is currently hosting his 11th season as ABC’s leading late night host, after joining in 2003. His latest season is up 16 per cent in total viewers compared to last year, reported Variety.
Like Kimmel’s, NBC’s ‘Jimmy Fallon’ and CBS’s ‘David Letterman’ are other popular chat show that had been winning the audience’s heart.
Stephen Colbert will replace Letterman in 2015. (PTI)
