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.

Ever wonder why specifics are never presented?
Oh sorry Italy, he doesn't represent the rest of us.

If it’s so bad for them, it ain’t because the country’s doing bad. The rest of us are doing fine. Good economy with tremendous growth in sight. Lower taxes. Lower crime. Closed border. Deportation of violent illegals. Peace deals around the world.
No, if things are bad it’s because things are bad for THEM, because it’s getting harder to make a multi-million dollar living as a left-wing Hollywood elitist in Trump’s second term. Media outlets are no longer feeling the need to lose money on late night shows to keep the DNC happy. Being a whiney leftist is no longer fashionable or marketable.
you ever notice how none of these leftist sob-sisters never opt to resettle in the areas they claim to be so worried about? you know, places like Gaza, Iran, Russia, Ukraine, Cuba ...
Will he stop voting in our elections?
just leave, already. Sheesh.
No one’s keeping you here Jimmie. No need to escape. Just hand in your passport on the way out.
GO!! NOW!!!
Isn’t he JEWISH????
Arrivederci!
I despise Kimmel, but SS did used to be hot and I’ll bet she was wild in the sack given her potty mouth.
Jimmy will fit right in. His new name will be Don Coglione.
“The Man Show.”
That was a stupid show.................
Apparently he’s never heard of Giorgia Meloni. She’s a Trumper.
