In a recent interview, Jimmy Kimmel made a bold prediction about the future of late-night television, suggesting that the format could become obsolete within the next 10 years. Kimmel, who has been a staple of late-night TV for over two decades, expressed concerns about the sustainability of the traditional late-night show in an era increasingly dominated by streaming services and digital content.
Kimmel pointed to the changing viewing habits of audiences, particularly younger generations, who are more inclined to consume content on demand rather than adhere to a fixed schedule. “People want to watch what they want, when they want,” Kimmel said, noting that this shift has already begun to erode the traditional late-night audience.
The comedian also discussed the financial pressures facing late-night shows, which have seen declining ratings and shrinking advertising revenues in recent years. As networks continue to cut costs and invest more in streaming platforms, Kimmel believes it’s only a matter of time before late-night TV as we know it becomes a relic of the past.
Despite his pessimistic outlook, Kimmel remains committed to his show, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” for the time being, but he acknowledged that the landscape of television is changing rapidly. “I’m not sure how much longer we’ll be doing this,” he admitted. “The world is moving on, and we’ll have to move with it.”
Kimmel’s comments reflect a broader conversation within the industry about the future of traditional television formats in the digital age. As streaming continues to reshape the way we consume media, the fate of late-night TV remains uncertain.
