Jimmy Kimmel Announces Permanent End of His Show: “I’m Going to Canada and Never Coming Back to the United States, I Hate Elon for Life”
Late-night television is about to lose one of its most recognizable faces. Jimmy Kimmel has announced that his long-running show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, will permanently end on January 20. However, what shocked fans even more was his bold statement declaring his intention to leave the United States for good.
Kimmel’s Shocking Farewell to Late-Night TV
Since its debut in 2003, Jimmy Kimmel Live! has been a staple of American television, known for its celebrity interviews, comedy sketches, and Kimmel’s signature brand of satire. But after more than two decades on the air, Kimmel has decided to walk away from the show—and the country.
“After so many years in this business, it’s time to say goodbye. But I’m not just leaving television… I’m leaving the United States. I’m moving to Canada and never coming back,” Kimmel declared in a fiery monologue.
A Feud with Elon Musk?
Kimmel has never shied away from expressing his opinions on politics, social issues, and high-profile figures. But his most notable rivalry in recent years has been with billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk. Their feud escalated after Musk’s controversial takeover of Twitter (now X), with Kimmel frequently criticizing the Tesla and SpaceX CEO’s views and online behavior.
In his farewell speech, Kimmel didn’t hold back, stating, “I hate Elon for life.” The declaration immediately sparked a wave of reactions online, with some speculating that his ongoing clashes with Musk played a role in his decision to leave the country.
Reactions and Speculations
The news of Kimmel’s departure has divided opinions across social media. Supporters praised his willingness to stand by his principles, while critics accused him of being overly dramatic. Meanwhile, some fans are skeptical, wondering whether this is another one of Kimmel’s elaborate pranks.
As January 20 approaches, the big question remains: Will Kimmel follow through on his promise to leave the U.S. for Canada, or is this just another headline-grabbing statement from the outspoken comedian?
