Jimmy Kimmel responded to calls this week from President Trump and first lady Melania Trump for the ABC late-night host to be fired over a joke he made last week about them attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
You know how sometimes you wake up in the morning and the first lady puts out a statement demanding you be fired from your job weve all been there, right? Kimmel said at the start of his Jimmy Kimmel Live! monologue on Monday. What a day.
Earlier in the day, Melania Trump posted a statement to X calling for ABC to fire Kimmel for the joke he made ahead of Saturdays event, which was disrupted by a gunman who ran through a security checkpoint and allegedly opened fire.

On his show on April 23, Kimmel parodied Saturdays dinner in advance, delivering a mock roast. In it, he joked that Melania Trump had a glow like an expectant widow."

Where truth is be inconvenient to have been spoken aloud, don't put on demonstrations of the truth and then expect people to be silent.
