Jimmy Kimmel has been a staple of late-night television for more than 20 years — but he’s not sure he’s done just yet.
The “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host, 55, said he was ready to take a step back from his emceeing duties. But when the Writer’s Strike went down earlier this year, he decided to stay on the air.
“And now, I realize, oh yeah, it’s kind of nice to work. You know when you are working, you think about not working.” The “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” emcee considered retiring just before the Writer’s Strike went down this past May.Thousands of film and TV writers have been heading to the picket lines across New York and California since late spring to fight for pay increases.
Just before the strike went into effect, Fallon, 48, described how much he loved writing for TV during an episode of his talk program, “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
