βThis Might Be My Final Contractβ
Speaking with the Los Angeles Times, the 56-year-old late-night host admitted heβs seriously considering stepping away when his current deal ends.
βI think this is my final contract,β Kimmel said. βI hate to even mention it because everyoneβs laughing at me nowβeach time I think that, and then it turns out not to be the case.β
Kimmelβs comments come as Jimmy Kimmel Live! celebrates its 21st anniversary, prompting a wave of self-reflection.
Two More Yearsβand Then What?
Kimmel still has a little over two years left on his current contract. But to him, that already feels like enough.
βThat seems pretty good,β he said. βThat seems like enough.β
As he looks ahead, he admits heβs unsure how heβll spend his time after the show. He mentioned several interestsβcooking, drawing, even sculptureβbut nothing is set in stone.
