Jimmy Kimmel Prepared to Move to Italy to Escape Trump
Daily Beast ^ | August 11, 2025 | Amber Levis

Posted on 08/11/2025 1:15:01 PM PDT by Red Badger

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.

Real estate near Mount Aetna is probably very cheap.

“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?

Imagine him being of draft age during WWII. He’d curl up into a ball and remain catatonic.
