Jimmy Kimmel considering retiring from late-night show

Kimmel said: ‘I did an interview and in it, the guy asked me, “Do you ever think about retiring?” I won’t even say I like a challenge.

“I wanted to do it but I’ve also feared doing it – and I still fear doing it.” he told CNN. Kimmel is a great host and Damon is a very credible actor.

No-one will be more aware of this than Jimmy Kimmel, who is hosting this year following a successful stint at the Emmys. “And I chose to say, for the amusement of one of our producers who was standing next to me, ‘I want to apologize to Matt Damon”. There’s no end to this. “It kind of broke my heart when I saw it”. You know he doesn’t produce anything – maybe he produces garbage at home.”Of course, Damon and Kimmel has long engaged faux-feud for a long time has left us in splits as they constantly try to prank each other”. Most of my staff cares.

With politics on the forefront of many minds, Kimmel aims to strike a balance. You can’t really go onstage to a comedy club and try this material out either, because that’s also a different audience and you want the jokes to remain secret, and nowadays people seem to tape everything and post it on the internet. The star has not revealed which celebrities will make appearances during the night, but he did not rule out it could include political figures.

Kimmel will host the Oscars this Sunday, Feb. 26, just a year after hosting the Emmys.

I know I will do the show for another three years.

But this is the big show, one that Kimmel notes “can be a no-win type of proposition”. The TV host said that it was nice that people cared but then there were articles that gave a list of names of who could replace him. “I put Matt in the latter category”, he said.

We just had a thought: DeGeneres had pizza delivered to the Oscars when she hosted the ceremony three years ago. “And if he does, I’ll be heartsick”.

The 89th Annual Academy Awards from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles will air Sunday at ABC at 8:30pm EST.
