Jimmy Kimmel became visibly emotional during the last episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in 2025, holding back tears as he looked back on a tough year. He expressed gratitude to his fans for their support during difficult events, such as the Los Angeles fires and his disagreements with President Donald Trump.
The show faced a difficult moment when ABC briefly stopped airing it after two major station groups, Nexstar and Sinclair, protested a joke Kimmel made about the person accused of shooting Charlie Kirk.
Kimmel began his final monologue by acknowledging what a difficult and unusual year it had been, admitting he was already emotional. He expressed deep gratitude to viewers, explaining that their support wasn’t just about ratings – they genuinely helped the show overcome a challenging period, and he was incredibly thankful for that.
Kimmel also talked about the difficult year the U.S. has had, referencing the many damaging events that occurred. He shared that hearing from viewers who find comfort in his show – and those hosted by his peers – is reassuring to him as well. It helps him feel a little less overwhelmed, too.
As a movie lover, I always appreciate stories that remind us we’re all connected, and that’s what this felt like. It was a call for Americans to stand with people everywhere, and a hopeful message that, despite everything, there’s still more goodness in the world – and especially in our country – than negativity.
Just recently, Variety announced that Jimmy Kimmel has renewed his contract with Disney, ensuring his late-night talk show will continue airing through 2027. This extends his current agreement, which was previously set to end in 2026.
Since his return to television, Jimmy Kimmel has continued to publicly criticize Donald Trump, most recently responding to the former president’s comments following the death of filmmaker Rob Reiner. Kimmel stated, “Right now, we need compassion and strong leadership, but the president didn’t offer either. Instead, he just rambled incoherently.”
I was shocked and disgusted when I saw it. At first, I didn’t even believe it was real. My wife pointed it out to me this morning, and I immediately thought it was unbelievably extreme—but then I realized there’s really no limit to what he’ll do.
Kimmel marked the end of a difficult year with a sincere goodbye, expressing gratitude to his viewers and highlighting the issues facing the nation.
