Jimmy Kimmel Floats Escape From US
Trending Politics ^ | 8/11/2025 | Mark Steffen

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.”

So many people have had access to whatever evidence there actually is, with plenty of time to cook up new stuff that looks like the original “evidence”, that the only way I will ever believe any of the “Epstein File” that finally gets released is actually real is if it is approved by Epstein’s Mother.

Start a GoFundMe account to pay for your ticket. I’ll contribute a hundred dollars.

Maybe he can move in with Ellen on a farm in England. Oh wait, she couldn’t deal with that and moved back to US .

No, they are still over there. They sold the farm that flooded and built a monstrosity of a modern house in the bucolic Cotswolds.

[Kimmel]: “I did get Italian citizenship, I do have that.”

That's a shame. For Italy.

TV land is busy destroying itself. Trump probably laughs himself to sleep at night.

I hear Rosie’s got some room at her place. They could sit around drinking wine and smoking pot all the time.

Tyrus on the Greg Gutfeld show said after seeing the interview was like hearing two billionaires complaining about how no one had change for a crisp $100 dollar bill at McDonalds. The video of him starts at the 4:20 minute mark.

Good point. I hope the phrase “Epstein’s Mother” becomes a commonly-used term, by the way! :) “Where’s Epstein’s mother?” if you know you’re being fed a line of BS!

There are a number of lists of names of all the people who FLEW ON THE LOLITA EXPRESS (which has been made public) who were ALSO VISITORS TO EPSTEIN ISLAND.

Flying on the plane is declassified information and that’s how - for example - Trump made the list because he did avail himself of the shuttle service, which didn’t just go to the Island. Not all the people who flew on the plane visited the Island but many of them were repeat customers, including Barak Obama and his “wife” Michelle.

Most of the names are very well known as those who were buds with Epstein and made more than one visit to his property. Thank (for example) Tom Fitton and “Judicial Watch” for filing FOIA lawsuits to get this information released. I don’t blame you for not wanting to look this up, as the internet is so full of absolute crap. (Not being sarcastic when I say this.) Anyway: Happy hunting.

(Note: I don’t know nothing about birthing no babies, either, except for the gajillion or so obstetric notes - including surgeries for complicated deliveries and so on - that I’ve transcribed in my career as a medical transcriptionist. Otherwise I don’t know nothing!)

I don’t see either of the Obamas on the list of people who flew on Epstein’s plane.
