Jimmy Kimmel has made headlines after revealing that he has obtained Italian citizenship. The late-night talk show host shared this news during an episode of Sarah Silverman’s podcast, where he hinted at the possibility of moving to Europe if former President Trump secures a second term.
Kimmel, 57, expressed his concerns about the current political climate, stating that the situation is even worse than he had anticipated. He mentioned that many people he knows are seeking citizenship in other countries, reflecting a growing sentiment among some Americans.
During the podcast, Kimmel confirmed, "I do have … I did get Italian citizenship." He went on to describe the current state of affairs as "unbelievable," suggesting that even those who once supported Trump are now questioning his actions. He referenced public figures like Joe Rogan, who have expressed doubts about Trump’s policies, particularly regarding immigration.
Kimmel emphasized the importance of keeping an open door for those who may want to reconsider their previous support. He remarked, "If you want to change your mind, that’s so hard to do. If you want to admit you were wrong, that’s so hard and so rare to do. You are welcome."
This discussion comes at a time when late-night television is facing changes, as evidenced by Stephen Colbert’s show being canceled on CBS. Trump recently commented on this development, predicting that Kimmel’s show might be next on the chopping block. He criticized Kimmel and other late-night hosts, calling them untalented and suggesting that their programming has hurt television quality.
Kimmel’s candid remarks about his citizenship and political concerns have resonated with many, illustrating the anxieties some feel regarding the future. As the political landscape evolves, it seems that Kimmel is preparing for all possibilities.
