In an interview with the L.A. Times, late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel opened up about the possibility of stepping away from his long-running show, "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" after over 20 successful years on ABC. While Kimmel did not definitively confirm his departure from his late-night seat, he mentioned that his current contract to host the show may be his last, hinting at a potential retirement in the near future.

This isn't the first time Kimmel has mentioned the idea of retiring. In the past, he expressed his intent to retire before, but always ended up signing up for the next go-around. However, with more than two years left on his current deal, Kimmel seems to be contemplating what comes next in his career and is considering pursuing a variety of hobbies in retirement rather than taking it easy post-'Kimmel Live!'.

Despite his success on television, Kimmel has claimed he never wanted to be a star and finds joy in participating in other people's projects, making hosting an ideal role for him. As fans eagerly await Jimmy Kimmel's decision about the future of his late-night show, it seems that the end of an era may be on the horizon.

So, for now, fans can continue to enjoy "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" while it lasts, as Kimmel's departure from the show could occur sooner than expected.
