LOS ANGELES: Talk show host Jimmy Kimmel revealed that he has his Italian passport ready, just in case.
The Los Angeles Times reported yesterday that during an interview with comedian Sarah Silverman on her podcast, Kimmel discussed how “much worse” President Donald Trump‘s second term has been for the country, without getting into specifics.
He said that he had obtained Italian citizenship as a result.
Kimmel’s Italian heritage from his mother’s side gave him the option to double up his citizenship.
“What’s going on with Trump is as bad as you thought it was gonna be,” said Kimmel.
“I feel like it’s probably even worse than Trump would like it to be.”
Kimmel has criticised Trump on his late-night show since 2016.
Trump has previously called Kimmel “stupid” and recently said that he would be the next to lose his job after CBS announced in July that it wasn’t renewing Stephen Colbert’s contract.
