It looks like ABC's late night host may be emulating legend and major influence David Letterman. At least that's what "they" would like you to think. Per People, Jimmy Kimmel has taken up with a member of his staff (romantically, that is).

Romance 101 courtesy of Dunder-Mifflin.
Over the years, NBC's comedy The Office has contributed much to pop culture and office morale, popularizing "that's what she said" jokes, introducing the encasing of desk supplies in JELL-O and giving a whole new meaning to office antics.
