Disney Doubts Future of Late-Night TV with Jimmy Kimmel Live
Disney President Dana Walden has weighed in on the future of late-night television and Jimmy Kimmel Live, saying it's 'a very challenging daypart.'
The show's contract is set to expire in May 2027, but Walden emphasized that Disney values its partnership with Jimmy Kimmel.
She noted that while Kimmel's ratings are up, they're still relatively small compared to other forms of entertainment.
Kimmel's show has been a staple on ABC for over 20 years, but some have speculated about its longevity due to declining viewership in traditional broadcast television.
