Ultra Lib Jimmy Kimmel Preparing To Leave The United States….

For years, Hollywood’s elite have treated election results like personal tragedies. Every time America votes in a way they don’t like, we hear the same old script: “If so-and-so wins, I’m moving to Canada!” Cue the headlines. Cue the applause from their Twitter fans. And then—predictably—they stay put in their multimillion-dollar American mansions, sipping soy lattes by the infinity pool.

But 2025 has brought us something brand new: they’re actually doing it. No more empty threats. No more performative outrage. This time, they’re packing their bags, clutching their passports, and heading for the exits.

Jimmy Kimmel’s “Escape” to Italy

Case in point—comedian and late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. During a chat with Sarah Silverman on her podcast, the conversation turned to people “fleeing” the country to escape President Donald Trump’s second term. Silverman said, “A lot of people I know are thinking about where they’re going to get citizenship.” Kimmel proudly replied, “I did get Italian citizenship.”

He traced it through his grandmother from Candida. So now, apparently, the guy who made his fortune cracking jokes for American audiences is ready to ride out the Trump years under the Italian sun. That’s right—he’s officially got an escape hatch from the very country that made him rich and famous.

The Celebrity Exodus

Kimmel’s not alone. Rosie O’Donnell? She’s already relocated to Ireland and is actively pursuing citizenship there. Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi? Their move to England is now permanent. Sharon Stone, Cher, and Barbra Streisand are reportedly mulling their own getaway plans.

This isn’t like 2016, when celebrity “I’m leaving” announcements dissolved faster than a sugar cube in hot tea. This time, it’s real. And it’s unprecedented in the history of American entertainment.

Reality Check: The Grass Isn’t Greener

Here’s the part that makes me laugh—these celebrities act like Europe is some magical utopia where everything works better than America. Wait until they see the bill. In Italy, high-income earners face tax rates over 43%. In the UK, they’ll get to experience the legendary National Health Service, complete with months-long waiting lists.

And let’s not forget free speech—or rather, the lack of it. European hate-speech laws aren’t going to give Kimmel the same leeway he had in the U.S. to mock political figures. In America, he could roast anyone from the president on down without legal trouble. In Italy? That material could suddenly be “a violation.”

Then there’s the culture shock. They’re leaving behind their primary audience—the American public—for societies that might not find their brand of political comedy all that charming. Good luck selling late-night monologues to people who are more interested in soccer scores than your take on Trump.

America Will Be Just Fine

Here’s the truth: America doesn’t need these folks. Not one bit. Their departure opens the door for new voices in entertainment—voices that don’t sneer at the audience, don’t drip condescension, and don’t treat patriotism like a punchline.

While the old guard runs off to Europe, conservative creators are building massive followings online. People are hungry for content that doesn’t insult their values. And they’re finding it—without the filter of late-night networks.

Even the industry is shifting. Stephen Colbert’s show is ending. Kimmel is apparently daydreaming about full-time Italian cuisine. And meanwhile, American audiences are learning that they don’t have to settle for the same recycled anti-American jokes from celebrities who barely tolerate the country they live in.

A Cultural Reset in the Making

So go ahead, Jimmy. Enjoy the taxes. Enjoy the bureaucracy. Enjoy the “multicultural utopia” where nobody knows who you are. Rosie, Ellen, Barbra—don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

This isn’t a tragedy for America. It’s a gift. It’s the start of a cultural reset, where the entertainment industry finally makes room for people who love this country—and aren’t ashamed to say so.
