immy Kimmel is hinting that his tenure as the host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” may be coming to an end as he prepares for his fourth Academy Awards hosting run.
The 56-year-old talk show host said in an exclusive interview with the Los Angeles Times that his current deal could be his last act.
“I think this is my final contract,” Kimmel said openly, 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.”
For Kimmel, commemorating the 21st anniversary of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” has led to reflection. He considers the two or more years left on his present deal to be a sufficient length of time, even with the milestone.
