Rumors of Jimmy Kimmel left the famous program “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” And the decision to move to Canada shocked the US public opinion. During the broadcast on the evening of June 25, 2025, Kimmel, with a deep expression, confirmed that he would end the program after more than two decades of attachment, making the audience shocked. The reason behind this decision is even more shocking: Kimmel claims he feels “tired” with the media and political environment in the US, and wants to find a “new start” in Canada, where he thinks that there is a more peaceful living environment.
Kimmel, one of the icons of late -night television, has led the show since 2003, attracting millions of viewers thanks to the sharp humor and memorable interviews. However, he acknowledged that in recent years, the pressure from facing political political issues and wave of criticism on social networks has made him exhausted. “I can’t continue to pretend everything when my soul needs to rest,” Kimmel shared in tears, making the audience at the studio quiet.
The decision to move to Canada is not only a personal change but also symbolic meaning. Kimmel said he was attracted to the whole people’s health care system and Canadian cultural diversity. He joked that he was ready to “become a fan of Hockey and eat Poutine every day”. However, his “never” statement made many people wonder if this was a temporary decision or a real turning point.
ABC, the program broadcast the program, has not announced a plan to replace Kimmel, but expressed respect for his decision. Meanwhile, fans on social networks are divided into two opinions: Some support Kimmel to seek their own happiness, others regret a TV era that is about to close. Regardless of the future, the departure of Kimmel marks a step of GOD Bless You!
