Jimmy Kimmel Shares His Thoughts About the Afterlife, Admits ‘I Don’t Know Where I’m Headed’

Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert are known for their comedy, but their most recent conversation turned more personal.

Kimmel, 58, appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert during an episode that aired Monday, January 12. As part of his recurring “Colbert Questionert” segment, Colbert, 61, asked his fellow late night host a series of questions, including one about what comes next after death.

“What do you think happens when we die?” Colbert asked.

“The two of us? You’re going to heaven,” Kimmel, 58, joked. “I don’t know where I’m headed.”

“This is something I have thought about. You know, we’re both Catholic, and I feel like there’s just a positive energy you become part of,” Kimmel added. “That’s what I think it is. We’ll find out eventually.”

Not every question was as deep, however: Colbert also inquired about what animal Kimmel thought was the scariest, his favorite type of sandwich and whether or not he’d ever asked anyone for their autograph.

Mosquitos ranked as the animal Kimmel thought was scariest and his favorite sandwich was one he came up with in high school that includes cold roast beef, Italian dressing, lettuce, tomato and provolone cheese.

When it came to autographs, Kimmel explained that he once asked for his favorite baseball player’s signature when he was a kid.

“I asked Steve Garvey, my favorite baseball player, for his autograph when I was like 10 years old,” he said. “[It was] on a keynote ticket. I do still have it, but it’s mostly faded.”
