Is Kimmel pulling a Letterman?

It's official, "pulling a Letterman" means sleeping with a co-worker. Why? Because I said so.
It seems that
ABC's late night host Jimmy Kimmel has been in a relationship with a member of his staff as well. This time, the host has been dating the show's head writer Molly McNeary for "several months."
This forced Fox News to pose the question if Kimmel is "pulling a Letterman" and ask if he should be forced to apologize on the air to
Ben Affleck. That normally would be hilarious if Fox News didn't handle all of their news with the same level of integrity and tact.
And yes, I'm jealous they came up with that line first.

Actually Jay Leno used that phrase in his monologue sometime last week. Just saying.

Pulling a Letterman... isn't that action exactly what caused all the trouble in the first place?

"Pulling a Letterman?"
Like he's the first person to sleep with a coworker?

Exactly!
What percentage of Americans have had a romantic relationship with someone they work with?
I bet it is >50%. And the other 50% were too scared to follow their heart.

pulling a letterman shouldn't just be sleeping with a co-worker but more so having several affairs with different coworkers while giving them more of the spotlight in addtion to carrying on your own relationship under the guise of faithfulness and then getting married.
but i guess that is too long to fit under the photo as a caption
