Jimmy Kimmel is a desperate man looking for a way out, he revealed in a recent interview.
The late-night host sees the writing on the wall, including the likely evisceration of his own ABC show. Rather than bear it, Kimmel said he’s giving serious thought to fleeing the U.S.
Such a move would be driven by Kimmel’s desire to “escape Trump,” he said on the Sarah Silverman Podcast last week.
“I did get Italian citizenship, I do have that. What’s going on is as bad as you thought it was gonna be,” the 57-year-old comedian said about his own career and Trump’s gloating promise to get him canceled next. Kimmel was outraged by CBS’s decision to nix Stephen Colbert’s show after a decade leading late-night’s ratings.
“It’s so much worse, it’s just unbelievable – I feel like it’s probably even worse than he would like it to be,” he added.
News of Kimmel’s possible move to Europe comes after President Donald Trump threatened that he and NBC late night host Jimmy Fallon would be “next.” He followed up on his quip by blasting both anti-Trump comedians as talentless while fielding a question about SiriusXM’s decision to end Howard Stern’s show.
“Fallon has no talent. Kimmel has no talent. They’re next. They’re going to be going, I hear they’re going to be going,” he said from the Oval Office.
During his interview with Silverman, Kimmel also faulted the “loud” left for contributing to a cancel culture that he claimed has denigrated stand-up comedy.
“It’s not the party. It’s not the majority. It’s the loud voices that scare people from saying what they believe and make you think twice about a joke,” he explained.
“You know, a lot of their points are valid, but a lot of them are also just repulsive, in that they repel people.”
“They go like, ‘Oh, you’re no fun. I don’t want to be around you.’ And I think if you had to boil it down to one thing, that’s kind of what it is.”
Both comedians also discussed watching Trump voters express regret for voting for the president in November, only to face the wrath of an online liberal mob that refuses to forgive and forget. Silverman pointed to the hate that podcaster Joe Rogan received after expressing his disappointment with some of Trump’s actions in his second term.
“Now you see like these clips of Rogan saying, ‘Why is he doing this? He shouldn’t be deporting people,’ and people go, ‘F**k you, you support him, whatever.'” she said, the Daily Mail reported.
Kimmel replied, “I don’t buy into that. I don’t believe the ‘f*** you, you supported him.'”
“If you wanna change your mind, that’s so hard to do. If you want to admit you were wrong, that’s hard and so rare to do, you are welcome.”
Adios puta!
Oh sir....the winning....it’s too much!
Kimmel needs to be researching the list of countries without extradition treaties with the US.
Do any of the late-night shows make a profit? I would think if they did, they would be bragging about it.
Just a friendly reminder to report hate crimes in Ireland. Every time her stupid mug shows up I take a few minutes to report her, again, for her “Ching Chong” jokes.

“As bad as I thought it was going to be.”. Fidiot! He has ZERO clue what “bad” is. I hope he finds out.
Perhaps he can build a bungalow on Epstein Island. Every time a plane comes to the island he can run around yelling “The Plane..The Plane”.
Well...Bye!

I’m having a little trouble with people on the internet - not y’all here on Freerepublic, or that I know of - who are all like “EPSTEINEPSTEINEPSTEIN” and you’re all excited (again, using the editorial “you”) about getting the Epstein alumni cleared out and dealt with and that’s great if you’re sincere - although I also note a great many, perhaps a majority, of “conservatives” or whatever, seem largely unaware that all the frequent flyers to Epstein’s Fantasy Island have already been identified. The names are all out there: Ellen, Oprah, T Hanks, G Clooney, etc.
Jimmy Kimmel is one such. His name is right there on the list and, like with all these others who have left the USA, the focus seems to be on how immature it is for these freaks to flee just because they don’t like Trump.
THEY DON’T LIKE TRUMP BECAUSE HE WILL BRING THEM TO JUSTICE. It’s not personal dislike - THEY’RE ESCAPING PROSECUTION. They’re escaping US law.
Wanting them to leave the USA means chances of them being brought to justice are decreased. Waiting to see what will happen means that you would like to see Justice done.
I mean, whether you dislike Kimmel’s show or his jokes or not is irrelevant in the face of his being involved in human trafficking and child r8pe. Right? (Golly, I hope so!)
People on twitter just go ON AND ON about this - “Oh, goodbye Ellen you OLD HAG!” and blah blah - SHE’S ON EPSTEIN’S LIST. She and her hideous “wife” are CHILD R8PISTS and HUMAN TRAFFICKERS. They are leaving the USA IN AN EFFORT TO AVOID PROSECUTION.
And then they’ll turn right around and hassle Trump and his friends about “the list” - “WHERE’S THE LIST? WHERE’S THE LIST?”
WE ALREADY HAVE THE LIST AND JIMMY KIMMEL’S NAME IS ON THERE.
*whew* Thanks for reading.
As a final note, I’ve observed that a great many people on twatter/X who honk endlessly about “the list” and “Bondi/Patel DO YOUR JOB” and blah-de-blah are DEMOCRATS, who had four years under Brandon to get all those Epstein alumni rounded up and corralled, if they had wanted to.
It would have been easy for them! All they needed to do is throw a fund-raiser with these big celebrity names for the Democrats and BOOM they would get like half of them right there.
Along the lines of what you said, what does this say about late-night shows? Heh-heh!
Test patterns get better ratings than late night talk shows these days.
Put him on a Kon-Tiki raft and push him out into Long Island Sound...probable solved.
Obama deported 10 times the people. They did not cry then.
Escape? He’s not in a cage.
Who?
Where’s the list, Miss Scarlett? And I don’t know nothing about birthing no babies.
“Floats escape....”
He can float across the Atlantic in an inner tube for all I care. Sharks will know he’s not good enough to eat but swordfish will jab is worthless @rse.
Didn’t he just do some interview on Sarah Silverman’s podcast where he was talking about how dumb and overreacting Dems have become since Trump. And now this?
SMH.
Let me help you pack Kimmel, your disgusting bag of turds.
Adios, muchacho.
