Late-night television host Jimmy Kimmel says he has formally secured Italian citizenship and is weighing whether to relocate to Europe, citing deep frustration with former president Donald Trump’s second term in office. Kimmel disclosed the move during an appearance on the “Sarah Silverman Podcast,” repeating a statement he first made in June at an event hosted by the Italian Consulate in Los Angeles. Kimmel, whose great-grandparents emigrated from Italy in the late 19th century, said he qualified for citizenship through ancestral lineage. “What’s going on is— as bad as you thought it was going to be, it’s so much worse,” he said on the podcast, arguing the political climate has deteriorated beyond his expectations. The comedian joins a small but visible group of U.S. entertainers who have explored or completed foreign moves since the 2024 election. Rosie O’Donnell has settled in Ireland, while Ellen DeGeneres has taken up residence in England. Kimmel’s public feud with Trump has intensified in recent months, with the former president predicting the ABC host could soon be ‘canceled’ following CBS’s decision to end Stephen Colbert’s late-night program.
