The 49-year-old talk show host made the announcement that Molly McNearney is expecting on his programme on Monday night (05.12.16) alongside revealing he will be hosting the Academy Awards in February.

Speaking on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', he said: "My wife is hosting a baby inside her body. So that's what's coming.

"So, there's a lot of exciting stuff going on. Congratulations to me. I'm hosting the Oscars and I had sex. Two things as a teenage boy I never thought would be possible."

Jimmy - who has two-year-old daughter Jane with Molly and two other children, Kevin and Katherine, from his first marriage to Gina Maddy - admitted the pair aren't going to find out the sex of their unborn baby so are trying to think of some neutral names, but his suggestions have been unusual.

He added: "We got the ultrasound - which is weird because it's like you're already spying on the baby - but we asked the technician not to tell us whether we're having a boy or a girl. Our plan is to let the child decide for itself.

"We want that to be a surprise, but I have been trying to think of names that would work for a boy or girl.

"So far, I've come up with two - number one Dyson after the vacuum or Gelatin with a J. No? That's exactly what my wife said."

In July 2014, Jimmy announced on his show that Molly had given birth to Jane.
