Late-night television host Jimmy Kimmel said he has obtained dual Italian citizenship as a contingency plan should he decide to leave the United States if Donald Trump wins the presidency again, according to remarks circulated on 9 August. Kimmel’s disclosure comes as the late-night landscape faces fresh turbulence. CBS confirmed last month it will end “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” in May 2026, while Trump has publicly predicted that other hosts, including Kimmel, could also lose their shows. The back-and-forth underscores the increasingly political tenor of the genre and the uncertainty surrounding its leading personalities.
