In the late-night television show scene, there have been few more prominent figures than ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel. Jimmy Kimmel has been a staple in the late-night television landscape since the early 2000s. Born on November 13, 1967, his early career saw him dabbling in radio, where he honed his comedic chops and developed his signature style of humor. This led to his big break in television as the co-host of Win Ben Stein’s Money, a role that earned him a Daytime Emmy Award.

Finding a solid  work-life balance is one thing, but Jimmy Kimmel has started having a hard time maintaining a work-Oscars balance. The comedian revealed earlier this year that he wouldn’t be returning to host the Academy Awards. He first hosted back-to-back years in 2017 and 2018, then returned in 2023 and 2024. He could have gone for a third consecutive year in 2025, but the job of an Oscars host requires more attention than he’s willing to sacrifice at the moment.Late-Night Hosts React to Presidential Debate: 'This Cannot Be Real Life'

New York Post

The fifth time isn’t a charm. 

In July, news broke that Jimmy Kimmel, 56, turned down the offer to host the 2025 Oscars. 

In recent years, the comedian and talk show host had become an Academy Awards favorite, as he acted as the emcee for the biggest night in Hollywood four times: in 2017, 2018, 2023 and 2024. 

So, why did he finally step away? 

On the most recent episode of Gavin Newsom, Marshawn Lynch and Doug Hendrickson’s “Politickin’” podcast, Kimmel said, “I just decided I didn’t want to deal with that this year.”

According to her daughter, Lucille Ball never considered herself a feminist, but there's no question she blazed many a trail for women.
