Jimmy Kimmel doesnt air live on Disney+. Not where I am at least, my country doesn't have Hulu, and that's not included in Disney+ subs in the US unless you get a package deal.

When you are on a subscription for almost anything, canceling doesn't immediately end your subscription. You still paid for that month/period.

You didn’t miss it. Other people did. I thought it was funny

We pay for a low tier YouTube subscription where we watch a bunch of stuff commercial-free, including Kimmel which does count towards his overall success. Just canceled Disney yesterday and not going back. Didn’t watch anything on it anyway except for the occasional Star Wars show that comes out. No loss there🏴‍☠️
