For the millions of Americans who have come to look forward to Kimmel’s late-night wit and political humor for over twenty years, his departure seems unreal.
Fans expressed amazement and dismay at the idea of Kimmel permanently leaving American television, and social media was ablaze with emotions. One devoted admirer tweeted, “Is he serious?”
“I’ve been a fan of Jimmy since he appeared on The Man Show! I never imagined that dad would just abandon us. The Jimmy Kimmel Live! team has responded.
With similar intensity, sharing happy memories and expressing their “devastated” feelings at the show’s termination. According to one of the show’s producers, “we’re like a family.”
“We’ve had Jimmy through thick and thin, so it’s difficult to accept that he’s actually going to leave.” However, sources claim that Kimmel’s choice was not unexpected.
Trump’s reelection seems to have been the last straw for the presenter, who has been more and more irritated with American politics. “The fact is, Jimmy is tired,” a close friend of the comic said.
