Jimmy Kimmel has never been shy about sharing his opinions, but his latest revelation blends politics, personal life, and a possible big move overseas.

The 57-year-old late-night host recently told longtime friend and comedian Sarah Silverman on her podcast that he’s now officially an Italian citizen — and that moving to Europe is a real possibility for him.

“I do have… I did get Italian citizenship,” Kimmel said, before adding that the current political climate in the United States is weighing heavily on his decision. “What’s going on is… as bad as you thought it was gonna be, it’s so much worse. It’s just unbelievable. I feel like it’s probably even worse than [Trump] would like it to be.”

Silverman noted that some of Donald Trump’s most vocal critics have already left the country, a point Kimmel acknowledged. But his reasoning for leaving isn’t just about protest. It’s also about perspective — and perhaps finding peace away from the chaos.

Kimmel also spoke on a topic that often divides Americans: forgiveness for those who have switched political sides. Using podcaster Joe Rogan as an example, he pointed out how some former Trump supporters are now openly criticizing the administration’s policies, such as deportations.

“People go, ‘Forget you, you supported him.’ I don’t buy into that,” Kimmel said. “If you want to change your mind, that’s so hard to do. If you want to admit you were wrong, that’s so hard and so rare to do. You are welcome.”

In Kimmel’s view, closing the door on people who want to rethink their positions only fuels division. Instead, he believes in encouraging people to admit mistakes and move forward.

But while Kimmel was talking about understanding and acceptance, the man at the center of the political storm was taking aim. Just days earlier, Donald Trump publicly mocked Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, and Stephen Colbert, calling them “talentless” and predicting they could soon be out of jobs.

The comments came after CBS announced it would end Stephen Colbert’s current format, a decision that fueled speculation about a broader shake-up in late-night television. “Colbert has no talent,” Trump said. “Fallon has no talent. Kimmel has no talent. They’re next. They’re going to be going.”

Trump’s criticism of late-night hosts isn’t new, but the timing — coming alongside the start of his second term — adds to the tension. For Kimmel, the possibility of losing his show may not be the only reason to consider Italy. A fresh start, combined with a new cultural and political environment, could be exactly what he’s looking for.

Whether or not Kimmel actually leaves the U.S. remains to be seen. His Italian citizenship gives him an easy path to relocate, but fans are left wondering if he would continue his television career from abroad, take time away from the spotlight, or perhaps reinvent himself entirely.

For now, Jimmy Kimmel is still behind his late-night desk, delivering monologues and interviews as usual. But with a passport to Italy in his pocket and a political climate he calls “worse than I imagined,” the idea of trading Hollywood for a quiet corner of Europe doesn’t seem so far-fetched.

One thing is certain: wherever he ends up, Kimmel will keep speaking his mind — and sparking conversations — whether Trump likes it or not.
