Jimmy Kimmel has obtained Italian citizenship, Entertainment News
Jimmy Kimmel has obtained Italian citizenship. The 57-year-old presenter — who has Katie, 33, and Kevin, 31, with ex-wife Gina Maddy and Jane, 11, and Billy, eight, with spouse Molly McNearney — has Italian heritage on his mother's side so sought to obtain official links to Europe because he is so unhappy with the state of the US under the presidency of Donald Trump. Speaking on The Sarah Silverman Podcast, he said: "I do have... I did get Italian citizenship, I do have that. "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 [Trump] would like it to be." The Jimmy Kimmel Live! host believes people should "welcome" those who have changed their views on Trump after previously supporting him to be re-elected. He said: "There are a lot of people... now you see these clips of Joe Rogan saying: 'Why's he doing this? He shouldn't be deporting people.' People go: 'F*** you, you supported him.' I don't buy into that. I don't believe 'F*** you, you supported him.' "I think the door needs to stay open. If you want to change your mind, that's so hard to do. If you want to admit you were wrong, that's so hard and so rare to do. You are welcome." The Who Wants To Be a Millionaire? host's comments about Trump come after the US president claimed he and Jimmy Fallon could be "next" to have their shows cancelled after news that the Late Show with Stephen Colbert will end in May 2026. Trump wrote on his own Truth Social platform: "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, Fallon will be gone. "These are people with absolutely NO TALENT, who were paid Millions of Dollars for, in all cases, destroying what used to be GREAT Television. "It's really good to see them go, and I hope I played a major part in it! (sic)" In response, Kimmel posted on Instagram: "I'm hearing you're next. Or maybe it's just another wonderful secret." His contract for Jimmy Kimmel Live! — which airs on ABC — is set to expire in 2026. [[nid:721105]]

‘In the next few months': Channel 10 set to revive Millionaire Hot Seat in latest ratings gamble
Channel 10 is understood to be reviving Millionaire Hot Seat as part of the broadcaster's bold attempt to compete in the ratings. Hot Seat originally enjoyed a long run on Channel 9 as a spin-off of the game show staple Who Wants To Be a Millionaire? until it ended in 2023. Both series were memorably presented by Eddie McGuire, with Hot Seat serving as a shortened version of the original program. A casting call for trivia enthusiasts keen to take on the Hot Seat surfaced on Monday, with Ten understood to be taking on the program for its primetime line up in 2026. The new Hot Seat will be shot in Melbourne this September, with the callout encouraging all 'energetic, confident trivia lovers from all walks of life' to apply. Curio Pictures—owned by Sony—is confirmed to be producing the revival for Ten but no information has surfaced about who could be taking on hosting duties for the revival. Sony Pictures Television holds the global rights to the Millionaire format, which has spawned over 100 international variations. It is understood the new game show will not impact Ten's other primetime game show Deal or No Deal, which will continue airing for now in its new 7pm slot. Game shows have emerged as a reliable ratings winner for free-to-air broadcasters amid a general decline in audiences. Unliked scripted programming, which has become prohibitively expensive for Aussie networks, game shows can be produced relatively cheaply, with multiple episodes 'taped' in a single day. Ten declined to address media inquiries about Millionaire Hot Seat but told that 2026 programming announcements will be made at the channel's annual upfront event. 'We look forward to making the 2026 content announcements for both 10 and Paramount+, at our Upfront presentation in the next few months,' Ten told in a statement.
