Jimmy Kimmel Has Announced That He Will Be Leaving His Late-Night Show “Jimmy Kimmel Live! ”

A fresh look at Jimmy Kimmel Has Announced That He Will Be Leaving His Late-Night Show “Jimmy Kimmel Live! ”, bringing you the most relevant details.

Jimmy Kimmel confesses to nearly shutting down his late-night talk show in a podcast interview on Variety’s Awards Circuit. He has previously advanced his television career by appearing on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and presenting various award shows throughout the years.

He said, ”

“I have times when I think to myself, ‘I can’t do this anymore.’ And there are times when I wonder, ‘What am I going to do with my life if I can’t do this anymore?’ It’s a pretty tricky situation. There are also practical factors, family and friend considerations, and coworker considerations.”

He went on to say:

“I’m going to have to quit doing this sometime. This is not something I intend to do indefinitely. I would be lying if I claimed I had made a decision one way or the other. But I’m thinking about it a lot.”

The announcement comes after CBS late-night presenter James Corden revealed that he would be leaving his own program at the end of the year. Kimmel is also expected to make a similar choice when his contract with ABC ends in 2023. According to People, ABC has yet to respond to Kimmel’s revelation. Kimmel has previously discussed abandoning his talk show ahead of his contract renewal in 2019. In a 2017 interview with Variety, he stated:

“I’m sure I’ll be doing the program for another three years. That might be the end of it. My wife is expecting. I’d want to have a bit more free time at some point. I already have very little spare time. I believe this work is a grind, and at best, a marathon. I’d want to leave on my own terms. If I ever feel like we’re repeating ourselves, I know it’s time to move on.”
