Episode Details

Jimmy Kimmel admits he’s been seriously considering stepping away from late-night, even telling Vulture six years ago he thought he’d retire by now. Though his ABC contract extends to May 2027, he’s been quietly contemplating an exit — especially after Stephen Colbert’s show was canceled, which he says makes the future of late-night feel “poisoned.” The network’s one-year contract extension last year, instead of the usual three, seemed to confirm his timing. Kimmel doesn’t want to go out “in a blaze of glory” — he’d rather leave on his own terms, without the drama of a farewell. He’s joking about the emotional mess of packing up his office, but he’s clear: he’s not rushing — he’s being responsible about his exit.
