This market will resolve to "Yes" if Jimmy Kimmel ceases to be the host of Jimmy Kimmel Live! for any length of time between market creation and May 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". An announcement of Kimmel's resignation/firing before this market's end date will immediately resolve this market to "Yes", regardless of when the announced resignation/firing goes into effect. Suspensions, administrative leave, or other temporary measures will not qualify. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from ABC or Disney, however a wide consensus of credible reporting will also be used.Trader consensus heavily favors Jimmy Kimmel remaining at ABC through May 31, reflecting the network's history of weathering controversies without terminating his contract, which was extended through May 2027 last December amid prior FCC scrutiny. Recent White House pressure intensified after Kimmel's "expectant widow" joke targeting First Lady Melania Trump during a mock White House Correspondents' Dinner segment last week, prompting President Trump and Melania to demand his immediate firing by Disney and ABC. Kimmel defended the remark on-air, ABC executives stayed silent, and no suspension or resignation signals emerged, underscoring entrenched late-night host protections despite partisan clashes.
