00:05Sparking social media praise for resisting censorship.
00:08Jimmy Kimmel has understood.
00:10He undoubtedly had an unprecedented year as a talk show host, and it looks like he's
00:14going to be around.
00:15After a buzzing and tumultuous year for the host and comedian,
00:20earlier this month, the famous television network ABC announced that
00:25Jimmy Kimmel Live would be extended via a one-year contract.
00:30The decision was quite a surprising one, as a massive moment in late-night television history
00:35occurred just a few months ago, when the host was briefly suspended after the comment
00:40he made surrounding conservative podcaster Charlie Kirk's passing.
00:45Around the same time, President Donald Trump began posting harsh, critical
00:50messages about Jimmy on platforms like Truth Social, including posts about
00:55how he desired to have him fired and taken off the air permanently.

01:15On December 8th, ABC made the announcement that Jimmy Kimmel Live will
01:20continue its on-air schedule, securing its spot on the air until at least 2021.
01:25On platforms like X, users celebrated the good news and a
01:30time-to-end.
01:31They applauded the network, as well as the show's host, for not giving in to Trump's threatening
01:35words.
01:36Congratulations to Jimmy, commented a fan.
01:40The talk show host has responded to the news of his show's extension himself in a recent video.
