I hate to even say it, because everyone\u2019s laughing at me now \u2014 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,\u201d Kimmel told the Los Angeles Times in an interview released Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Kimmel, who has hosted his ABC program since 2003, explained that he is taking a-lot of time to prep for hosting the Oscars in 2024.
