Jimmy Kimmel Live No More? The Host is Considering Ending His Late Night Show

Jimmy Kimmel is curious about what his future post-Jimmy Kimmel Live! might look like, but could that mean the end of the late night show?

On Variety's Awards Circuit podcast, the host discussed his plans for the future, as his contract for the long-running late night show is up in 2023. "I wish I knew I was gonna do," he said. "I have moments where I go, 'I cannot do this anymore.' And I have moments where I go, 'What am I gonna do with my life if I'm not doing this anymore?' It's a very complicated thing. And there are practical considerations, and there are family and friend considerations and coworker considerations."

Kimmel's namesake show has been on the air since 2003, and the host is aware there will come a time when he will have to end the show. "Eventually, I am going to have to stop doing this," Kimmel admitted. "I'm not going to do this forever. I would not be honest at all if I said that I have decided one way or the other. I'm thinking about it a lot, though."

Jimmy Kimmel Live! airs weeknights at 11:35 PM ET on ABC.
