I’m Leaving America and Never Coming Back”: What’s Really Happening With Jimmy Kimmel?

Jimmy Kimmel, who has hosted his show since 2003, has long been known for mixing comedy with political commentary. Over the years, he has openly criticized public figures, addressed election cycles, and shared personal reflections about the state of the country. That visibility makes him a frequent target of speculation and rumor — especially during politically sensitive moments.

When public figures express frustration, exhaustion, or strong political opinions, those statements are sometimes amplified or reframed online into dramatic narratives. Words taken out of context can quickly evolve into claims about resignations, permanent moves, or major announcements that were never formally made.
