“You’ll have more time to work on your jokes – and your pizza dough dancing skill” – Greg Gutfeld takes aim as Jimmy Kimmel secures Italian citizenship while whispers grow of liberal celebrities plotting mass EXIT, following Rosie O’Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres packing bags.
Late-night television just got a dose of unexpected drama after Greg Gutfeld’s latest jab at Jimmy Kimmel hit a nerve in Hollywood. Kimmel’s decision to secure Italian citizenship has triggered speculation of a broader celebrity migration, with sources claiming other high-profile names are quietly arranging their own departures. Rosie O’Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres have already made headlines for stepping away, but insiders hint Kimmel’s move could spark a chain reaction unlike anything the industry has seen. Behind the jokes and lighthearted digs lies a more pointed question: what’s really driving these departures, and is it just about lifestyle, or something far more political?
Get the full inside account on who’s next to go – and why this exodus might be the entertainment industry’s biggest shakeup in years.
Comedian Jimmy Kimmel confirmed he obtained his Italian citizenship during a discussion on people fleeing the country to escape President Donald Trump.
Kimmel shared the news while a guest on fellow comedian Sarah Silverman’s podcast Friday, as they discussed the state of the country in Trump’s second term.
“A lot of people I know are thinking about where are they going to get citizenship?” Silverman said.
“I did get Italian citizenship,” Kimmel replied.

“You do? Oh, that’s amazing,” Silverman reacted.
“I do have that. And what’s going on is—as bad as you thought it was going to be — it’s so much worse. It’s just unbelievable,” Kimmel said.
“I feel like it’s even worse than he would like it to be,” he cracked.
The White House did not immediately return a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
The late-night host campaigned for Democrats in the 2024 election and has been a staunch critic of Trump over the years.
He first shared he had obtained his Italian citizenship at an event at the Consulate General of Italy in Los Angeles in June, according to Italian news agency Ansa.
“I have just obtained citizenship, thanks to my beloved grandmother Edith, whose family came from Candida, in the province of Avellino,” he told the crowd at the event celebrating the 79th Italian Republic Day.

Kimmel’s admission comes after fellow comedians Rosie O’Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres revealed earlier this year that they had permanently relocated outside the country after the 2024 election.
Trump warned last week that Kimmel would be the “next” to be canceled after fellow anti-Trump late-night host Stephen Colbert announced in July that his show would end in May 2026.
