“I wish I knew what I was gonna do,” he admitted. “I have moments where I go, ‘I cannot do this anymore.’ And I have moments where I go, ‘What am I gonna do with my life if I’m not doing this anymore?’ It’s a very complicated thing. And there are practical considerations, and there are family and friend considerations and coworker considerations.”
Kimmel continued, “Eventually, I am going to have to stop doing this. I’m not going to do this forever. I would not be honest at all if I said that I have decided one way or the other. I’m thinking about it a lot, though.”
Ultimately hedecided to renew his contract for three more years, joking in a press announcement, per CNN, “After two decades at ABC, I am now looking forward to three years of what they call ‘quiet quitting.’ "
