Jimmy Kimmel Redoes His Mother's Day Post After First Pic Doesn't Cut It

Jimmy Kimmel took a second shot at a Mother’s Day tribute, after his first attempt went awry.

The late night talk show host originally posted a picture of his wife, writer and producer Molly McNearney, with their two children, alongside a heartfelt Instagram caption.

“Happy Mother’s Day to the lady in the glasses and every great Mom,” he wrote on Sunday.

While Kimmel left his first post up, he later posted a glamorous, solo shot of his wife and wrote out a much longer caption about his original mistakes.

“So it turns out, one should check with his significant other before posting a photo of said other in bed with wet hair and wearing reading glasses,” Kimmel said.

“So now I have no choice but to employ the nuclear option: this photo of my beautiful, brilliant and glamorous wife shot by Mark Seliger,” he captioned his next post, a professional portrait of McNearney in a pink halter gown. “Happy Mothers Day Molly - we love you and appreciate the zillion things you do.”

“Well now you’ve gone too far,” McNearney commented on the photo, alongside a heart emoji.

Kimmel and McNearney tied the knot in 2013, and have two children together: Jane, 9; and son Billy, 7.

Kimmel was previously married once before to Gina Maddy Kimmel from 1998 to 2003. The two also share two children together: Katie Kimmel, 32, and Kevin Kimmel, 30.
