Jimmy Kimmel, the host of late-night talk show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", is extending his contract with ABC one year.
Earlier in his monologue, Kimmel addressed Trump’s latest insults directed towards him. As he prepared to host the Kennedy Center Honors on Sunday, Trump slammed Kimmel’s hosting skills, calling him “horrible” and telling reporters in the Oval Office, “If I can’t beat out Jimmy Kimmel in terms of talent, then I don’t think I should be President.”

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr faced his first congressional grilling over his comments about Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday, as Democrats claimed that he has operated the agency to go after critics of Donald Trump.
