what will replace jimmy kimmel

Jimmy Kimmel's show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" was suspended indefinitely by ABC in September 2025 following controversial remarks about the late conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. In the immediate aftermath of the suspension, ABC replaced Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show slot with reruns of the game show "Celebrity Family Feud," hosted by Steve Harvey. Additionally, some major ABC affiliates, such as Sinclair Broadcast Group, replaced the time slot with a special tribute to Charlie Kirk, and Nexstar Media Group also pulled Kimmel’s show and replaced it with different programming in their markets. There has been no official announcement of a permanent replacement host for Jimmy Kimmel's show, but the immediate fill-ins have been "Celebrity Family Feud" reruns and special programming honoring Charlie Kirk. Also, political figures jokingly suggested other replacements, but these were not official.
