Jimmy Kimmel Reflects on a ‍Tumultuous 2025

Late night maestro ⁤Jimmy Kimmel got emotional while reflecting on the ⁤difficult year⁢ he and his show ⁤endured during the final Jimmy ⁣Kimmel Live show of 2025, shedding some tears as⁤ he gave his opening monologue.

“Thank you for joining us here at our ‌home in beautiful Hollywood, California, ⁢for​ what is our final show of the year,” the host began on thursday, December 18. “And this one, this has been a strange year. It’s been a hard year.”

He got a little choked up, but continued, “We’ve had some lows. We’ve had some highs. For me, maybe more than any year in my life. But on behalf of all of us – I’m crying already.I’m sorry.”

After‍ collecting himself, Kimmel added: “On ⁢behalf of⁣ all of us at the show, I just want to say that we appreciate your support, your enthusiasm,” he ​said.”And not just for watching this year – you literally pulled us out of a ⁤hole, and ⁤we ⁢cannot thank you enough, personally.”

Kimmel has had a rollercoaster 2025. ABC pulled *Jimmy ⁣Kimmel Live!* off the air ‌ for two weeks ​in April following controversy surrounding a segment.
