Back in July of 2008 when Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman parted ways, it was rumored that Kimmel was rebounding with a member of his staff, Molly McNearney (pictured above picketing for the writer’s strike in Los Angeles.) The rumors were quickly denied by all involved in the story and it went away.
Thankfully, my mind is a vault for nearly useless information, because when I saw today on People.com that Kimmel is officially and publicly dating a member of his staff named– wait for it– Molly McNearney, I couldn’t help but put the two together. So do you think those interludes of Sarah and Jimmy dating again were a farce and/or appreciated by his girlfriend of a year? I would think not.
However, sources close to the pair say that they seem to be doing well and that they are “really happy together”. Awesome for them, but doesn’t a talk show host hookin’ up with a young, blond staff member sound slightly familiar? The source assures People that, unlike Letterman and his broad, “during work hours, they keep things professional.”
One paragraph I found troubling in the People story was this:
McNearney, 31, who first joined the show’s staff as an assistant to the executive producer in July 2003, began writing on the show in 2006, and was promoted to her current position as co-head writer in May 2008
Uhhh, from assistant to co-head writer in only six years? I guess that happens from time to time, but that sounds like an awfully quick sprint through the ranks to me. Perhaps these two have had a little somethin’ somethin’ going on for longer than they admit to?
Hehe reminds me of your name Molly :P
She’s not even attractive. Kimmel needs to learn how to flex his fame better.
yea, because a woman can’t become a co-head writer on their own, they have to slut themselves up to the top.
who cares?! they seem to care about each other, and they are both single when they started dating. stop creating drama.
That’s not what I said, but you’re welcome to take it that way. Obviously I don’t think women need to sleep their way to the top. Don’t allow yourself to assume such things. It must be a miserable feeling to walk around expecting that everyone means the worst possible thing.
Would you mind if I reference a few sentences from your post? I’m researching for project for highschool. Thanks!
