Rogen reportedly brings in $60 million/year and got $200 million from the Spotify deal a few years ago.
Conan O'Brien went a similar route and sold his podcast for $150 million.
This is far more than Kimmel was earning on network TV.
As someone who doesn't watch network TV much anymore, I'd be far more likely to turn into a new online Kimmel show. This is probably the move he needs to make in any event.
Kimmel had reportedly seen his viewership fall to 1.77 million viewers per episode. So the decision to can him, might not have been entirely based on political pressure.
