Thu Sep 26 13:21:10 UTC 2024: ## Rumors of Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens Replacing Jimmy Kimmel on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Debunked

**LOS ANGELES, CA** – A recent Facebook post claiming that conservative commentators Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens will replace Jimmy Kimmel on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” has been circulating online, but the claim is completely false.

While the post suggests ABC is shaking up its late-night lineup, there has been no announcement or press release from the network supporting this claim. Furthermore, no reputable news source has reported on it.

In fact, Kimmel renewed his contract with ABC for three more years in September 2022, ensuring his continued presence as the longest-running late-night talk show host in the United States. “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” is now in its 20th season and continues to attract a wide range of celebrity guests.

This rumor appears to have originated in July 2024 when a Facebook post claimed Carlson and Owens would team up for “ABC’s New Late-Night Show.” However, this post included a “RATED SATIRE” disclaimer, indicating it was not a legitimate announcement.

A YouTube channel, “U.S. News,” also debunked the rumor in August, highlighting the lack of evidence supporting the claim.

Check Your Fact reached out to ABC, Owens, and Carlson for comment on the false claim.
