“Honestly, I never thought it would come to this. But here we are. After January 20th, the last

episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! will air, and I’m off to Canada. Maybe I’ll open a little comedy club in Toronto, or maybe I’ll just disappear into the Rockies. Either way, I’m leaving and never coming back.”
Speaking about his decision to move to Canada, Jimmy Kimmel said, as per Esspots:

“I’ve heard polar bears are more reasonable to deal with than certain voters. I just need a place where people don’t think ‘fake news’ is anything they disagree with. I’ll take my chances in Canada, where people actually believe in science, and maple syrup flows like water.
