“I did get Italian citizenship,” Jimmy Kimmel said. “What’s going on is as bad as you thought it was gonna be. It’s so much worse – it’s just unbelievable. I feel like it’s probably even worse than he would like it to be.”
In June, Kimmel spoke of his heritage at an Italian Republic Day event in Los Angeles, telling the audience that his grandfather’s parents moved to New York from Ischia, an island off the coast of Naples, after an earthquake in 1883 killed most of their family.
“I have just obtained citizenship, thanks to my beloved grandmother Edith, whose family came from Candida, in the province of Avellino. She used to repeat to me, ‘You have the brain of a hamster!’”
he reportedly told the audience.
Rosie O’Donnell moved to Ireland in January, while Ellen DeGeneres recently confirmed she and her wife, the actor Portia de Rossi,
decided to relocate to the UK after Trump’s election last year.
“It’s clean,” DeGeneres said, of the UK. “Everything here is just better – the way animals are treated, people are polite. I just love it here.”
She also expressed concern for the future of LGBTQ+ rights in the US, hinting that she and De Rossi may get married again in the UK due
to the possibility that same-sex marriage could be overturned in the US.
Kimmel is among a cohort of late-night hosts, including John Oliver, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, who regularly use their shows as a platform to criticise the Trump administration. In May, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
was controversially axed by CBS, not long after he criticised the network’s decision to settle a $16m lawsuit with Trump on-air.
CBS
has denied it was a politically motivated decision, but Trump did not disguise his pleasure at the news, writing on social media: “I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert!”
A few days later, he wrote: “The word is, and it’s a strong word at that,
Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes and, shortly thereafter, [Jimmy] Fallon will be gone.”

x 12^444 There's honestly no singular method to teach anything but math, even basic mathematics, is particularly obvious. People ultimately teach themselves in their own learning style. But someone not willing, or able, to provide multiple demonstrations and explanations to facilitate student learning is taking a paycheck without regard for success.
