Turns out ABC didn't in fact, fire Jimmy. It was all a joke during an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, where the gag was poking fun at fellow hosts like Tucker Carlson parting ways with Fox News after 14 years.

The monologue in question featured Jimmy being interrupted by his loyal late-night sidekick, Guillermo Rodriguez, informing viewers that ABC had decided to "part ways" with Jimmy after 20 years.

Guillermo threw in one last parting snarky line for good measure — "On a personal note, I'd like to say to Jimmy, don't let the door hit you in your ass on the way out." However, the entire skit was a joke, and thus we must reiterate that ABC hasn't actually fired Jimmy.
