Dana Walden opened her Bloomberg Screentime session with a joke about her temporary role, saying she was “keeping this seat warm for Casey Bloys,” who would eventually take over and provide the real updates.
During the session, Bloomberg reporter Lucas Shaw asked Walden about the future of Jimmy Kimmel Live! and whether Jimmy Kimmel would continue hosting the late-night programme beyond his current contract.
Kimmel recently signed a one-year contract extension, keeping him with the show through the 2026–27 season. When asked about his plans, Walden confirmed that Kimmel is committed to returning for the upcoming season.
Her comments provide clarity on Kimmel’s immediate future with the programme, while questions about whether he will continue beyond the current agreement remain open.
