Jimmy Kimmel Makes Shocking Announcement About His Show

Jimmy Kimmel has suggested that his long-running late night talk show may be ending when his current contract expires in 2025.

I think this is my final contract. I hate to even say it, because everyone’s laughing at me now — each time I think that, and then it turns out to be not the case. I still have a little more than two years left on my contract, and that seems pretty good. That seems like enough,” Kimmel told the Los Angeles Times in an interview released Tuesday.
Kimmel, who has hosted his ABC program since 2003, explained that he is taking a-lot of time to prep for hosting the Oscars in 2024. He also revealed that he has been considering retirement.

“It’s hard to yearn for it when you’re doing it,” the Jimmy Kimmel Live host told the outlet. “Wednesday night, I was very tired and I had all these scripts to go through — I had to revise and rewrite all these pitch ideas for the Oscars — and I was literally nodding off onto my computer.
“In those moments, I think, ‘I cannot wait until my contract is over.’ But then, I take the summer off or I go on strike, and you start going, ‘Yeah, I miss the fun stuff,’” he continued.
