The comedian sat down with ex Sarah Silverman to discuss politics and possible means of escape.
Jimmy Kimmel might be the next American comedian to flee to Europe to escape President Donald Trump.
Kimmel, who has hosted the ABC late-night comedy show Jimmy Kimmel Live! for 22 years, shared his thoughts on Trump and the state of American politics with his ex-girlfriend, Sarah Silverman, on her podcast.
“A lot of people I know are thinking about where are they going to get citizenship?” Silverman said.
“I did get Italian citizenship,” Kimmel replied.
According to the Italian news agency Ansa, Kimmel obtained Italian citizenship this year after proving his ancestral lineage. Kimmel’s maternal great-grandparents emmigrated to New York from Naples after an earthquake devastated their hometown, Ischia, in 1883.
“What’s going on is as bad as you thought it was gonna be,” Kimmel remarked to Silverman, referring to Trump’s second term.
“Way worse,” Silverman chimed in.
“It’s so much worse; it’s just unbelievable,” Kimmel agreed. “I feel like it’s probably even worse than he would like it to be.”
In obtaining Italian citizenship, Kimmel joins other celebrities who have taken steps to flee the country or have already done so, including Rosie O’Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres, who fled to Ireland and England, respectively.

He dated her? Man, he is crazy.
“American comedian...”
NOPE....TRY AGAIN
It’s been quite some time since I’d even consider him funny......and even then only MAYBE.
It’s been a minute since The Man Show....and even back then he had Adam Carolla to lean on.
He’s a Biden Puffer!
Maybe he can get a gig at the Vatican???👏👏👏😂😂😂
I notice commies who claim they are NOT racist, always claim that they will leave the country but all chose to move to all WHITE areas..notice that..no one says “Im outta here Im moving to Africa” nope you never hear that
Maybe he can get a gig at the Vatican???👏👏👏😂😂😂
“Way worse,” Silverman chimed in.
So Kimmel & Silverman would rather create a new alternate reality rather than deal with things as they are -- that their attempts to gaslight the American people have failed... miserably.
Wait till they find out DT is as popular in Europe as he is here. Jimmy might want to look into a country with no expedition treaty with the US. Cuba is nice but DT is probably popular there as well.
How about taking them with you?
There are many near-abandoned towns in Italy, because of their aging population. It’s probably a good place to buy a villa for a reasonable price.
They think people will see this and go “oooh Trump must be bad...our hero Jimmy Kimmel wants to leave the USA”.
With the EU censorship rules, he’ll be deported before Christmas.
Not far enough away.
They have flights every day so shut your mouth and buy a ticket.
Sarah Silverman’s appearance on Seinfeld was one of the black marks on that show... she wasn’t good in her role
I haven't heard that his late show has been canceled yet though - does anyone know? (Hope so!)
I truly DO NOT understand these idiots. I see great things happening every day in President Trump's 2nd term!
There have been several self-deportations of liberals in the over 55 community in South Carolina where I live. These libs moved here, stupidly not realizing they were living in a Red State, also not realizing they were living in an overwhelmingly conservative gated community. They found out the hard way and self-deported, LOL! Good riddance!
I came here for this.
I was not disappointed.
😆
No. He’s planning to announce he’s moving in order to have an audience.
Otherwise he’d just go
