Late-night television is reeling from a bombshell announcement: Jimmy Kimmel, host of the long-running Jimmy Kimmel Live!, is officially stepping away from his iconic desk and leaving the United States for good. In an emotional monologue on last night’s episode, Kimmel broke the news to stunned viewers, declaring, “This is it. I’m moving to Canada, and I’m never coming back.”
The End of an Era
For over two decades, Kimmel has been a staple of late-night TV, blending sharp political satire, hilarious celebrity interviews, and viral comedic segments. His departure marks the end of one of the most enduring and influential late-night programs in television history.
“This isn’t a decision I made lightly,” Kimmel said during his farewell address. “I love what I do, but it’s time for me to focus on my family, my health, and maybe finally figuring out what poutine is all about.”
Why Canada?
Kimmel cited a mix of personal, political, and lifestyle reasons for his dramatic move north of the border.
“Canada feels like the right place for me right now. Less noise, more maple syrup,” he joked. “Plus, I hear the healthcare system is pretty great, and they have Tim Hortons everywhere.”
While Kimmel kept the mood light, he hinted at deeper frustrations with the current political climate in the U.S.
“I’ve said a lot on this show about what’s happening in America, and I stand by every word. But now, I need to step away and live my life differently.”
Celebrity and Fan Reactions
Hollywood and social media erupted with reactions to Kimmel’s surprise announcement:
Jimmy Fallon: “Jimmy, the late-night world won’t be the same without you. Wishing you all the best in Canada!”
Ryan Reynolds: “Canada welcomes you with open arms, Jimmy. Hope you’re ready for a lifetime supply of ketchup chips!”
Fans on Twitter:
“Kimmel moving to Canada is peak 2025 energy.”
“I can’t believe it’s over. Late-night TV just lost one of the greats.”
What’s Next for Kimmel?
Though Kimmel made it clear he’s retiring from late-night TV, he hinted at potential future projects. “I’m not disappearing entirely,” he teased. “I might pop up in a Canadian sitcom or release a cookbook. Who knows?”
Farewell to an Icon
Kimmel closed the show with an emotional montage of his favorite moments from the past 20 years, from unforgettable celebrity pranks to heartfelt interviews with everyday heroes. His final words were simple but heartfelt:
“Thank you, America, for letting me into your homes for all these years. I’ll see you when I see you.”
The Future of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
ABC has yet to announce what will happen to the show, sparking speculation about a potential replacement host or a complete rebrand. Whoever steps into Kimmel’s shoes will have a monumental legacy to live up to.
As Jimmy Kimmel bids farewell to America and late-night television, one thing is certain: his humor, candor, and wit will be deeply missed. Best of luck in Canada, Jimmy—you’ve earned it. 🍁

My husband thought it was funny to slap me across the mouth in front of his coworkers after I made a harmless joke. The room fell silent.
