Late-night television has seen its fair share of host changes in recent years, with long-time hosts like David Letterman and \u2064Jay \u200bLeno stepping down and making way\u200d for\u200d a new generation. The departure of Kimmel would \u2064open up\u2063 an exciting opportunity \u200bfor \u2063another comedian to\u2063 take the\u200c reins\u200c and put their own stamp on the late-night landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ultimately, Kimmel&#8217;s potential exit highlights the ever-changing nature of the entertainment \u200dindustry.
