In a jaw-dropping revelation that has left the entertainment world reeling, late-night TV legend Jimmy Kimmel has announced that “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” will officially end on January 20—but that’s not all.
Kimmel also revealed that he’s packing his bags, leaving the United States for Canada, and vowing to NEVER return!
A Sudden Goodbye After 20 Years
The bombshell announcement came during a highly emotional episode of his show, where Kimmel, visibly moved, addressed his millions of fans:
“After two incredible decades, the time has come. January 20 will be my final night hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! And yes… I’m leaving the U.S. for good. I’m heading to Canada and I’m NOT looking back.”
The audience fell silent as Kimmel dropped the unexpected news, leaving his fans in shock and disbelief. The comedian declined to give exact reasons for his dramatic departure, simply stating that he is “ready for a fresh start” and a life beyond the late-night grind.
