A recent claim is circulating on social media which is suggesting that eminent comedian Jimmy Kimmel eventually announced that his late-night show would end on the date of January 20 in the year 2025 which coincides with US President- elect Donald Trump's inauguration, reported USA Today.

According to USA Today, the certain post which eventually gained a significant traction on famous platforms like Instagram and Facebook falsely quoted Jimmy Kimmel as saying he would ‘leave for Canada and never come back’.

Jimmy Kimmel has not made any such announcements regarding the termination of his show named ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ USA Today asserted that in fact, he signed a long three-year contract extension in the year 2022 while ensuring his role until at least the 2025-26 season.

The original satirical content was actually misrepresented when shared which lead to extreme confusion among readers. Jimmy Kimmel has been famously known for his critical stance toward Donald Trump, but, at the same time, there has been no credible evidence to suggest he plans to relocate or end his show.

This certain incident highlights the issue of ‘stolen satire’ where satirical content is repackaged as genuine news while misleading the audiences, noted USA Today.
