"Who is James Dixon? Dixon is the New York-based talent manager of Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and Jon Stewart. (Now, you understand why he's pretty busy at the moment). In July, CBS announced it would cancel "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" in May 2026. Then on Wednesday, Disney-owned ABC announced it was pulling "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" off the air following comments the host made about Charlie Kirk."
"According to reporting from Puck on Friday, Dixon, Kimmel, and his lawyer Andy Galker were on a Zoom call Thursday with Disney TV cochair Dana Walden and ABC late-night head Rob Mills to figure out a way to get Kimmel's show back on the air, but neither side could reach an agreement. Dixon began his firm, Dixon Talent, in 2001 after spending 14 years at the William Morris Agency and then a time at CAA, running the comedy management arm of Artists Management Group."
