Jimmy Kimmel has hinted that his long-running show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, may soon come to an end. As the show marks its 21st anniversary, Kimmel, 56, is seriously considering stepping away when his current contract ends.
In a recent interview, Kimmel said, “I believe this is my last contract,” sounding more certain than in past comments. With just over two years left on his deal, he admitted that feels “sufficient,” suggesting he’s ready for a change.
He’s not sure what comes next, but mentioned interests like cooking, drawing, and sculpting—creative outlets beyond the world of late-night television. It’s clear he’s open to exploring life outside the spotlight.
For fans, the possible end is bittersweet. While Kimmel’s exit would mark the close of an era, it also reflects his desire for growth and a new chapter beyond the nightly show he’s led for over two decades.
