As Jimmy Kimmel faces what might be the abrupt conclusion of his late-night talk show after 22 years on ABC, he'll be receiving love and encouragement from his most fervent supporter - his second wife Molly McNearney.

The 47-year-old Emmy winner is no ordinary wife - she served as the head writer on Jimmy Kimmel Live! from 2008-2023, and has made 11 appearances on camera including a regular segment called 'Win Jimmy's Crap.'

A year ago, the 57-year-old comedian enlisted Molly to fire back at President Donald Trump's criticism of him: 'Go to Mar-a-Lago. Spend all day every day cheating at golf and masturbating to Newsmax and let a competent woman take over.'

McNearney taunted the 79-year-old politician over his 34 felony counts of falsifying business records and pointed out how 'one in three women in this country is currently living under an abortion ban because you stacked our Supreme Court.'

In 2022, the Missouri-born mom tweeted her anti-gun views: '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.'

Jimmy - whose contract was up next May - is said to be 'absolutely f*ing livid' over ABC's decision to indefinitely pull his program over his remarks Monday and Tuesday about Charlie Kirk's assassination.

'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,' Kimmel said in one of his monologues.
'And doing everything they can to score political points from it.'
