Inside Jimmy Kimmel's Late-Night Show Shake-Up: The Role of 'Woke' Molly McNearney
SHOCKING TWIST IN LATE-NIGHT TV: JIMMY KIMMEL'S ABC SHOW AXED AFTER 22 YEARS!
In a bombshell move that's left fans reeling, Jimmy Kimmel's long-running late-night talk show is facing an abrupt and indefinite hiatus on ABC. And as the embattled comedian prepares to bid adieu to his loyal audience after two decades on the network, he can count on one person to have his back - his second wife and Emmy-winning powerhouse Molly McNearney.
The 47-year-old writer and producer extraordinaire has been Jimmy's rock throughout his career, serving as head writer on Jimmy Kimmel Live! from 2008 to 2023. But what makes Molly so special? For starters, she's a total wild card who's never afraid to speak her mind. And we're not just talking about the witty one-liners and sharp humor that made her a fan favorite on the show.
Molly has also made headlines for her unapologetic takes on politics. Just last year, she fired back at none other than President Donald Trump after he criticized Jimmy's show. In a scathing tweet, Molly told the former president to "Go to Mar-a-Lago. Spend all day every day cheating at golf and masturbating to Newsmax" - Ouch!
But it gets even better! When Trump went on the attack again, Molly didn't hesitate to call him out on his dubious business dealings (34 felony counts of falsifying business records, anyone?) and his role in stacking the Supreme Court with anti-abortion justices. And she wasn't afraid to get personal either, pointing out that "one in three women in this country is currently living under an abortion ban" thanks to Trump's handiwork.
And if you thought Molly was just a one-trick pony, think again! The Missouri-born mom has also been an outspoken advocate for gun control. In 2022, she tweeted her support for stricter gun laws, saying "Today I #WearOrange because taking our kids to school shouldn't be a life or death decision. Ban assault weapons. Pass universal background checks. And vote out anyone too cowardly to put kids before guns."
But what about Jimmy's current drama? Sources close to the show claim that his contract was set to expire in May, but ABC has decided to pull the plug on the program indefinitely - at least partly due to Jimmy's recent monologues on Charlie Kirk's assassination. In one of those now-infamous segments, Jimmy blasted the "MAGA gang" for trying to spin the tragic event to their advantage.
"We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them," Jimmy fumed. "And doing everything they can to score political points from it." But it seems like ABC has had enough - or rather, too much.
Will Jimmy's show be back on the air? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure: Molly McNearney is ready to ride or die with her husband in this latest chapter of his career. And who knows? Maybe we'll see a spin-off show featuring Molly as the star - after all, she's already proven herself to be a comedy genius and a force to be reckoned with on social media.
