Jimmy Kimmel Is My Ideal Future Husband, Just Check Out His Pancake Skills

He's so much more than a comedian.

On weeknights at approximately 11:35 p.m., the renowned, wildly successful, Emmy-nominated late-night show, "Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!", airs on ABC.

The namesake host, Jimmy Kimmel, calls for no extensive introduction, as he happens to be one of those infamous entities people tend to either overwhelmingly adore or absolutely hate. Kimmel has fueled his way to household notoriety through establishing himself as an American funnyman, spokesperson for the politically frustrated, and celebrity aficionado. It is also through his simultaneous delivery of witty commentary and relatable demeanor which have propelled Kimmel to attaining the role of a two-time (and counting) Oscar Host.

Yet, his accolades fail to cease at simply "decorated television personality."

I must admit that I may be a tad biased, for I am a self-proclaimed Kimmel enthusiast. But my enthusiasm for the comedian stems far beyond his jocular productions and lands within the breadth of his character in private life; which is occasionally revealed on a public spectrum through his Instagram, Twitter, or spouse.

Enter Molly McNearney; "Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!" screenwriter, loving wife to Jimmy Kimmel himself, doting mother, and satirical badass (i.e. her Twitter).

A few months ago, Ms. McNearney wrote a personal article for the Washington Post regarding the ever-present frustrations of her husband’s brooding, artisan pancake habits and I’ve been unashamedly obsessed with their family dynamic ever since.

I mean, come on, have you seen anything sweeter?!

I’m not a believer in keeping a "trait checklist" when it comes to the thought of a future husband, but if I were, go ahead and add ‘avid pancake connoisseur' to the feasibly overflowing stockpile, as well as 'fellow foodie' and 'immaculate sense of humor'.

So, yes- Jimmy Kimmel is most definitely my entire list. If you ever meet a handsome incarnate, let me know ASAP.

Anyhow, despite verbal controversies and the glamorous facade presented through cable television, beneath the tuxedos, and behind Hollywood illusions, I think it's safe to assume that Jimmy Kimmel is a man of one major stability; family.

Imagine the grandiosity of his dad joke caliber.

While even the sheer ideas of getting married and having children are a few long years and substantial tuition statements away, I like to hold Jimmy Kimmel as my own set of guidelines because he's much more than a funny guy who has prospered a career through wit and hard work.

Kimmel is a dad, completely in love with his wife and kids, and he's proud of it. What's not to love?

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
