ABC has extended its option with
Jimmy Kimmel Live!, keeping the late-night talker on the air through 2010.
Lately, Kimmel's numbers have steadily increased. This past season he surpassed CBS's
The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson and came within a whisker of NBC's
Late Night With Conan O'Brien.
ABC also gave Kimmel some prime time exposure this month, airing a 30-minute version of the show leading into NBA Finals telecasts. -
