BB.BREAKING ENTERTAINMENT NEWS: Jimmy Kimmel Officially Says Goodbye to His Talk Show After Two Decades – “It’s Time to Say Goodnight”
Los Angeles — An era has come to an end. Jimmy Kimmel, the legendary host of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, has officially announced his departure from the show after more than 20 years. The news, which he shared during a special episode that aired last night, left the room speechless.
“I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve grown old with this show,” Kimmel said with a smile and a hint of emotion. “It’s time for me to step down and let a new generation tell their own stories.”
The studio audience gave a standing ovation that lasted nearly three minutes. Many famous faces — from Matt Damon to Ben Affleck to former political guests — sent in videos congratulating and thanking “the man who made America laugh every night.”
ABC sources say the final episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! will be “a celebration of memories,” reliving iconic moments: explosive interviews, random camera pranks, and even the classic “feud” with Matt Damon.
One critic said:
“Jimmy Kimmel is more than just a host. He’s a bridge between humor, culture, and the hearts of the American audience.”
According to rumors, Kimmel will be turning to producing documentaries and writing books about late-night behind-the-scenes — a project he calls “the laughter behind the lights.”
“I’m not saying goodbye,” Kimmel concluded, “it’s just — see you again, somewhere else.”
