Overview

• Kimmel confirmed on The Sarah Silverman Podcast that he obtained Italian citizenship earlier this year through ancestral documentation, a fact verified by ANSA.
• He described the passport as a personal exit plan against what he called an “unbelievable” second term under President Trump and said he is seriously considering leaving the U.S.
• His new citizenship has reignited tensions in his public feud with Trump, who recently celebrated Stephen Colbert’s show cancellation and warned Kimmel’s program could be next.
• The host urged welcoming former Trump supporters who now regret their votes, arguing that admitting a mistake is difficult yet deserving of affirmation.
• Kimmel joins celebrities such as Rosie O’Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres who have pursued EU citizenship or relocated abroad in response to the current political climate.
