Jimmy Kimmel was speaking in an interview this week where he said he's actually mulling the idea
0:25
of retirement, of getting off the air and why not? Because if he doesn't have Trump to kick
0:30
around anymore, he's got nothing to talk about. These guys don't even have jokes anymore on late
0:35
night. Johnny Carson's day is long gone, may he rest in peace. These people are now nothing more
0:41
than political activists and Jimmy Kimmel's the worst of them. Jimmy Fallon is actually still
0:46
funny and he doesn't really get too crazy into the politics. But people like Kimmel and Colbert
0:53
their hatred for this one man totally destroys their shows. I want you to take a look at this
0:58
report and then let me know if you think it's too little too late for Kimmel to be gone. Let me know
1:06
when you like, comment, share and subscribe. I'm Carmine Sabia for Explain America. We love you
1:12
guys. God bless you. Take care everybody. Everybody's leaving. Trevor Noah's left
1:18
So many folks have left. You know, what about Kimmel? Kimmel's going to stay for a little while
1:23
Yeah. Yeah. I'm sticking it out. Looks like Jimmy Kimmel is sticking it out a tiny bit longer as he
1:30
hints at a possible end of his late night talk show. Thanks for joining us here. We had a three
1:36
day weekend. I was an eventful weekend. Did anyone else get sued by George Santos this weekend
1:43
The Jimmy Kimmel Live host reflects on the success of the long running show with the Los Angeles
1:48
Times, explaining, I'm as surprised as anyone could be in this position. Even to have a really
1:53
good job is a surprise to me. You may be excited, but at home they really couldn't care less
1:59
to be honest with you. Welcome to enjoy it while it lasts. My new talk show
2:04
Jimmy Kimmel Live debuted on ABC in 2003. Since then, Jimmy's become the longest serving late
2:10
night talk show host currently on the air. I mean, think back to the very beginning where
2:14
they're like, is this going to work? Come on. What are we doing? It is incredible that I'm
2:19
still on the air. I guess I learned on the job, you know, like if I was a pilot, the whole plane
2:26
would have crashed. But 21 years in, the idea of retiring hit him. Jimmy telling the LA Times
2:32
the thought came to him during his Oscars hosting prep. I was very tired and I had all these scripts
2:37
to go through. I had to revise and rewrite all these pitch ideas for the Oscars. And I was
2:41
literally nodding off onto my computer. In those moments, I think I cannot wait until my contract
2:46
is over. But then I take the summer off or I go on strike and you start going, yeah, I miss the fun
2:52
stuff. It's the five of us together for maybe an hour a day. Strike force five is the name of our
2:59
podcast. Subscribe to it now. During the Writers Guild, the SAG strikes last year, Jimmy started
3:05
this strike force five podcast with fellow late night host Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, John
3:10
Oliver and Seth Meyers. Are you guys getting stir crazy? Are you ready to go back to work? It was
3:17
during that time, Jimmy admitted to the guys he toyed with the idea of hanging up his hosting hat
3:22
As you know, I was very intent on retiring right around the time where the strike started
3:28
And now I realize like, oh yeah, it's kind of nice to work. I mean, you know, when you are
3:35
working, you think about not working. Are we to take you at your word that you were you were
3:39
seriously considering this? I really was. I think I told you that privately, right
3:43
But it looks like the end could be near. As Jimmy tells the LA Times, he thinks this is his
3:48
final contract. Each time I think that and then it turns out to be not the case. I still have a
3:53
little more than two years left on my contract, and that seems pretty good. That seems like enough
3:58
You are the Tom Brady of late. Well, no, I think he
4:02
feigned retirement. I'm Tom Brady without any rings. Yes, or fingers
