Jimmy Kimmel (latest star covid explainer) has a contract with ABC that runs out in 2022. Is this a contract with the Devil perhaps? I don't know, but he's talked about hanging it up before:
Previously, Kimmel has admitted to contemplating the end of his namesake program:
At a certain point, I'd like to have a little more free time. I have very little free time as it is."
Kimmel continued, "I think this job is a grind, and best-case scenario, a marathon.I want to go out on my own terms.If I ever feel like we're repeating ourselves, I think it's a good indication that it's time."

This reminded me of what Cindy McCain said after NoName had died, which was a very strange way to put it:
Cindy McCain said her husband had “passed the way he lived, on his own terms, surrounded by the people he loved, in the place he loved best.”
