Jimmy Kimmel reveals his new love

In news that may give fellow late-night star, David Letterman some welcome relief, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel has announced he’s now dating a staffer.

After splitting from long-time GF, Sarah Silverman way back in March the 41-year host has revealed he’s now deeply entwined in an office romance with Molly McNearney, a 31-year old worker on Jim’s late night show.

“After Jim and Sarah broke up, he and Molly both found themselves single, and they clicked,” a close friend told People. “They’re really happy together.”

And in case you’re concerned this could soon be another ‘Late Show’-style scandal, there’s no cause to fear, “During work hours, they keep things professional.” the source assured People’s scribes.

Insiders say Molly joined Jimmy’s team back in 2003 as an assistant to the Exec Producer. She then started writing monologue segments in 2006, and this erudite prose then secured her an envied position as the show’s co-head writer in 2008.
