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.

Retirement.....living next to Clooney.
well, bye.
Real estate near Mount Aetna is probably very cheap.
Is he bringing the Juggies with him?
Why? Is he a child molester too?
🤣
great one more ungrateful person leaving US :)
Addio, frocio piagnucoloso!
Oh, sure.
Like we all wouldn’t move to Italy if we could.
Che finocchio.
Notice how none of these malcontents never just pick up and leave.
So just go.
Good God, these people keep threatening to leave…and they hardly ever do.
First thing I thought of when I saw this post!
“Total nonsense. If he goes to Italy, it’s because he wants to go to Italy.”
He probably bought a Villa there years ago. Now he has a reason to spend more time at it.
Why to Italy? Why not to a Socialist Paradise or a country that is not whiter than the US?
WILL NOT MISS THAT POMPOUS ASS
Imagine him being of draft age during WWII. He’d curl up into a ball and remain catatonic.
The sacrifices these multi-millionaires have to endure.
