Jimmy Kimmel announces the end of Jimmy Kimmel Live and goodbye to America – ‘I am moving to Canada and NEVER coming back!, America has changed me I feel…’ – SSS
more than two decades, Jimmy Kimmel Live! has been a cornerstone of late-night television — a blend of humor, heart, and the kind of biting wit that defined modern American talk shows. But on a quiet Thursday evening, Kimmel took the stage not to joke, not to roast, but to say goodbye.
The audience, usually buzzing with laughter, fell into a stunned silence. Many thought it was another elaborate monologue — perhaps a setup for a joke about politics or Hollywood. But as Kimmel’s words grew heavier, it became painfully clear: this was
Over the years, Kimmel’s comedy evolved — from harmless celebrity pranks and goofy sketches to sharp political monologues that often split audiences right down the middle. His emotional pleas on gun control, healthcare, and empathy made him one of the few late-night hosts unafraid to wear his heart — and his politics — on his sleeve.
But that passion came at a cost.
“I used to think humor could fix things,” he admitted. “Now I’m not so sure it can survive them.”
The Moment That Broke the Internet
Within minutes of Kimmel’s announcement, social media erupted. Clips of his farewell speech flooded X (formerly Twitter), YouTube, and TikTok. The hashtags #GoodbyeKimmel and #ThankYouJimmy trended globally.
One viral comment summed up the collective shock:
“I never thought I’d see the day Jimmy Kimmel said he’s leaving America. It feels like the end of an era — like losing the voice that made us laugh through chaos.”
Even rival hosts chimed in. Stephen Colbert posted, “You can take the man out of Hollywood, but you can’t take the sarcasm out of Jimmy. Canada, be warned.”
Meanwhile, Jimmy Fallon tweeted a heartfelt message:
“You made us laugh when we wanted to cry. You reminded us humor matters. Wishing you peace and maple syrup, my friend.”
From Brooklyn to Hollywood — and Now North
Born and raised in Brooklyn, Kimmel’s journey to late-night fame was anything but smooth. Before Jimmy Kimmel Live!, he worked as a radio host, then gained notoriety co-hosting The Man Show — a controversial yet defining moment in his career.
When ABC handed him the keys to a late-night slot in 2003, few expected he would one day rival legends like Letterman or Leno. But Kimmel didn’t just host a show — he created a space where celebrities could let their guard down, where sincerity met satire, and where even political firestorms could find a hint of laughter.
