Jimmy Kimmel has said that he was ready to quit Jimmy Kimmel Live. However, when push came to shove, he signed on the dotted line for 3 more years.
When he was on Howard Stern’s radio yesterday, the late night explained why he decided to stay on. “I was having a hard time with the leaving part of it. I don’t just mean leaving. I mean what you have to go through. The emotional toll that it takes,” he said. “You got 6 months, you got to wrap it up. And it was easier for me to go, ‘hey, I will worry about that in 3 years.'”
So, in 3 years, he will sign another contract because he won’t be ready to say goodbye then either. And then, 3 years after that, it will happen again. It will be a vicious cycle until one of them decides to cut the cord.
