Kimmel is currently in his 22nd season after signing a three-year extension in 2022 to keep him around through Season 23. In an interview about his Oscars-hosting prep, the 56-year-old Kimmel tells the Los Angeles Times he thinks he's ready to call it quits. “I think this is my final contract," he says. "I hate to even say it, because everyone’s laughing at me now — each time I think that, and then it turns out to be not the case. I still have a little more than two years left on my contract, and that seems pretty good. That seems like enough.” He adds of his post-talk show future: “I don’t know exactly what I will do. It might not be anything that anyone other than me is aware of. I have a lot of hobbies — I love to cook, I love to draw, I imagine myself learning to do sculptures. I know that when I die, if I’m fortunate enough to die on my own terms in my own bed, I’m going to think, ‘Oh, I was never able to get to this, and I was never able to get to that.’ I just know it about myself.”
