If you're not following Molly McNearney on Twitter, then you're missing out on some serious laughs because girl is arguably one of the funniest users on social media.

Case in point? She's already joking about her pregnancy on Twitter just one day her hubby Jimmy Kimmel announced that the couple is expecting their first child

"Yes, I'm pregnant," Kimmel's wife tweeted this morning. "When can I get my epidural?"

See why McNearney, who's co-head writer of Jimmy Kimmel Live, deserves a follow back?!

Jokes aside, the 46-year-old funnyman announced the baby news during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, scheduled to air on Wednesday's episode of Ellen.

"I'm having a baby," he revealed, much to the audience's delight. "With Ellen." (OK, can this couple do anything serious? Perhaps that time will come in the delivery room).

McNearney and Kimmel tied the knot in July in a star-studded ceremony in Ojai, Calif. after the late night host popped the question in August 2012. Kimmel has two grown children, Katie and Kevin, from his first marriage, and Ellen asked the funnyman if he is going to be an involved dad.

"Involved?!" Kimmel replied in awe. "Well, I have two kids already. I don't know where they are, but I hear they're doing great...I have a 20-year-old son and a 22-year-old daughter and I've really forgotten everything [about raising kids]."

"It's weird, at my age," the comedian added. "I'm going to be one of those old dads."

Kimmel has yet address the pregnancy news on Twitter or on his show and was instead tweeting thanks to his friends who congratulated the late night host on his 2000th Jimmy Kimmel Live! show last night.
