Jimmy Kimmel may be nearing the end of his career as the host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” as he prepares for his fourth Academy Awards hosting run.
In an exclusive interview with the Los Angeles Times, the 56-year-old talk show host disclosed that his current contract might be his last act. Kimmel opened out, “I think this is my final contract,” expecting his admission to be met with suspicion. “I hate to even mention it because everyone’s laughing at me now — each time I think that, and then it turns out to not be the case.”
The celebration of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”‘s 21st anniversary has caused Kimmel to reflect. Even with the milestone, he considers the two or more years left on his present deal to be a sufficient amount of time. “I still have a little more than two years left on my contract, and that seems pretty good,” he declared. “That seems like enough.”
Kimmel isn’t sure how he’ll spend his spare time after “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and is considering a possible move away from late-night television. “It might not be anything that anyone other than me is aware of,” he said, revealing a variety of his interests, which include cooking, drawing, and even experimenting with sculpture.
When Kimmel thought back on his grandfather’s death, he recognized the effect it had on him. He was deeply impacted by seeing his grandfather’s dreams dashed, which prompted him to reflect on his own path. “I know that when I die, if I’m lucky enough to die on my own terms in my own bed, I’m going to think, ‘Oh, I was never able to get to this, and I was never able to get to that,'” he stated. “I just know it about myself.”
As the legendary presenter approaches the Academy Awards, the possibility that this will be his last contract adds a level of drama to his fourth year as Oscars host. It is clear that Kimmel can move between comedy and sincerity in his late-night career, and his next hosting assignment could be a turning point as he negotiates the possible end of this chapter.
Although nothing is known about Kimmel’s post-“Jimmy Kimmel Live!” endeavors, his open admissions regarding the limited duration of his current contract encourage viewers to consider the impact he may leave. As the Academy Awards draw near, Kimmel’s dual responsibilities as host and possible career change take center stage, ensuring that this next Oscars presentation is a memorable chapter in the late-night icon’s illustrious career.
