In a surprising and dramatic turn of events, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel announced the end of his long-running talk show and revealed his plans to move to Canada permanently. The bombshell statement came during the final segment of his show, leaving audiences in shock.
A Bold Declaration
During his farewell address, Kimmel didn’t hold back his frustration, stating:
“I’m moving to Canada and will never return to the U.S.—I hate Elon forever.”
The outspoken comedian’s longstanding feud with billionaire Elon Musk has been no secret, with Kimmel frequently taking jabs at the Tesla and SpaceX CEO during his monologues. Over the years, their exchanges have escalated, with Musk often responding to Kimmel’s critiques on social media.
Years of Tension with Elon Musk
Kimmel has been one of Musk’s most vocal critics in the entertainment industry, often mocking the billionaire’s social media antics, business ventures, and controversial statements. While many saw the banter as part of the usual late-night satire, Kimmel’s decision to leave the country has led to speculation that his frustrations with Musk—and perhaps the broader social climate—were more serious than previously thought.
Hollywood Reacts
Kimmel’s announcement has sparked mixed reactions. Some supporters praised his decision, seeing it as a stance against the influence of billionaires like Musk, while others mocked the move, calling it an overreaction.
Despite the controversy, one thing is certain—Kimmel’s exit marks the end of an era in late-night television, and his absence will leave a notable gap in the entertainment landscape.
As for whether he truly never returns to the U.S., only time will tell.
