If Jimmy Kimmel wants to know the Top 10 reasons why you shouldn't dip your pen in the company ink, we know just the man he can turn to.
ABC's late-night leader has taken a page from David Letterman's book—granted, a much more transparent and much less controversial page—with the revelation that he's been dating a longtime underling on his staff.
Suddenly, his kid-glove treatment of Letterman's mini-scandal makes a little more sense.
Kimmel's rep spent the majority of the weekend confirming his relationship with the show's cohead writer, Molly McNearney, which sources tell E! News is several months in.
While they were at it, sources also went on to preemptively shoot down rumors that the relationship may have helped McNearney on her climb up the corporate ladder: While she started as an assistant to the executive producer back in 2003, she joined the writing staff soon after and was promoted to her current position more than a year ago, well before her relationship with Kimmel began.
As for the host, the coupling marks his first relationship since his split from Sarah Silverman earlier this year.
Ben Affleck's gonna be so disappointed.
