Molly O'Brien McNearney, born on March 13, 1978, in Missouri, United States, is an American writer and producer. She was raised alongside two siblings: an older brother, Michael McNearney Jr., and a younger sister, Kelly McNearney. Molly graduated from the William Allen White School of Journalism and Mass Communications at the University of Kansas.
McNearney began her career in the entertainment industry as an assistant on the late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live! in 2003. Over time, she advanced through the ranks to become co-head writer of the show, a position she held for several years. Her writing contributions have played a key role in shaping the tone, humor, and success of the program.
In addition to her work on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, McNearney has also contributed to high-profile events and specials, including writing for the 68th Primetime Emmy Awards. She was also involved in the 2008 television special Big Night of Stars.
Molly McNearney began dating television host Jimmy Kimmel in 2009 after several years of working together. The couple got engaged in 2012 and were married on July 13, 2013. McNearney is Jimmy Kimmel’s second wife. Through their marriage, she became the stepmother of his two children from his previous marriage—Katie Kimmel and Kevin Kimmel.
Molly and Jimmy Kimmel have two children together: a daughter, Jane Kimmel, and a son, William “Billy” Kimmel. Billy was born with a congenital heart defect that required multiple open-heart surgeries, including one shortly after his birth. The experience brought both parents into the public eye as advocates for healthcare awareness, particularly relating to children’s medical needs.
While McNearney has not been publicly credited on major television projects since 2016, there is no official indication that she has formally retired from writing or producing. It is widely believed that she chose to focus more on family life following the birth and early medical challenges of her son.
As a respected figure in comedy writing and television production, McNearney remains recognized for her important contributions to late-night television and her ongoing influence within the industry.
