Kimmel's new deal will keep him on air through 2022, until just shy of his 20-year anniversary in late-night. His current contract expires later this year. “We've made it clear that he is a critical member of the family and we want him on our air as long as he wants to be on it,” ABC Entertainment president Karey Burke told The Hollywood Reporter earlier this year of Kimmel, the third-longest serving late-night host after Conan O'Brien and Carson Daly.
