Kimmels face sacking calls over widow joke

Jimmy Kimmel made a controversial joke during a sketch about First Lady Melania Trump having "a glow like an expectant widow" whilst pretending to speak at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. The joke, which aired days before a foiled assassination attempt on President Trump, has drawn condemnation from both the President and First Lady, with Melania Trump explicitly calling for Kimmel's termination. The controversy presents a significant challenge for ABC Network's new CEO Josh DiMaro, who must navigate calls from the White House to fire the talk show host.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
