Jimmy Kimmel’s ‘woke’ wife Molly McNearney is a bigwig at late night show who regularly mocked Trump and expressed pro-choice and anti-gun views

It’s a bittersweet moment seeing Jimmy Kimmel potentially wrap up his 22-year run on ABC. As someone who follows these things closely, I know this is a big deal! But one thing’s for sure: he’s incredibly lucky to have his wife, Molly McNearney, by his side. She’s always been his biggest champion and I’m sure she’ll be offering him all the love and support he needs during this transition.

The 47-year-old, who has won an Emmy, isn’t just a wife – she’s a highly accomplished comedy writer. For 15 years, from 2008 to 2023, she was the head writer for *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* and even appeared on camera 11 times, including as a regular part of a segment called ‘Win Jimmy’s Crap.’

I was absolutely thrilled when, a year ago, my hero, the 57-year-old comedian, asked Molly to respond to Donald Trump’s attacks on him. Her reply was *perfect* – she told him to go back to Mar-a-Lago, spend his days golfing and watching Newsmax, and finally, let a capable woman handle things. It was exactly the kind of comeback we all needed!

McNearney criticized the 79-year-old politician, highlighting his 34 felony charges related to falsifying business records. She also pointed out that, due to his appointments to the Supreme Court, one in three women in the US now lives in a state with an abortion ban.

In 2022, a mother from Missouri shared her stance on gun control in a tweet, stating, ‘I’m #WearOrange today because sending kids to school shouldn’t be dangerous. We need to ban assault weapons, require background checks for all gun sales, and elect leaders who prioritize children’s safety over guns.’

Okay, so here’s what’s happening with Jimmy’s show. His contract was coming up for renewal in May, and now ABC has decided to take his program off the air, at least for the foreseeable future. From what I’m hearing, he’s *extremely* upset – and rightfully so, in his opinion – because this all stems from some controversial comments he made earlier this week about Charlie Kirk. It’s a really tough situation, and it sounds like he feels blindsided by the network’s decision.

During his monologue, Kimmel discussed how supporters of Donald Trump, often referred to as the ‘MAGA gang,’ attempted to distance themselves from the individual accused of attacking Charlie Kirk, despite the attacker seemingly being one of them.

‘And doing everything they can to score political points from it.’
