Fact Check: Viral Claim About abc talk show host Jimmy Kimmel’s Death or Hospitalization in Brooklyn Is False
Over the past few hours, social media has been flooded with alarming posts claiming that late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel has either died or been hospitalized in Brooklyn at the age of 57. The posts often carry headlines such as “SAD NEWS: 15 minutes ago in Brooklyn, at the age of 57, ABC talk show host Jimmy Kimmel’s family just announced…”
This claim is false.
No Credible Reports
As of now, no major news outlet or verified source has reported on Jimmy Kimmel suffering any medical emergency, passing away, or his family making any announcement. Reputable media organizations including ABC, where Kimmel has hosted Jimmy Kimmel Live! since 2003, have not released such news.
Misleading “Clickbait” Format
The viral posts bear hallmarks of clickbait and disinformation tactics:
They use vague language (“just announced…”) but provide no official statement. They often appear on spam websites or YouTube thumbnails designed to drive traffic. They rely on urgency (“15 minutes ago”) to lure readers before they can verify.
Jimmy Kimmel Is Alive and Active
Recent public appearances and social media updates confirm that Kimmel is alive and continuing his work. In fact, he remains a central figure in late-night television and frequently appears in the news for his comedic takes on politics and current events.
Why These Hoaxes Spread
Celebrity death hoaxes are unfortunately common online. They often target widely recognized figures like Kimmel to exploit fan concern and generate clicks, ad revenue, or subscriptions. These tactics can cause distress to fans and families while damaging trust in legitimate news.
Bottom Line
The circulating story claiming Jimmy Kimmel has died or is hospitalized in Brooklyn is completely untrue. Jimmy Kimmel is alive, well, and still hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! The public is advised to verify news from credible outlets before sharing.
