Jimmy Kimmel Learns His Fate After Being Kicked Off Air - WOW!

Late-night show host Jimmy Kimmel responded to Donald Trump’s criticism of the comedian’s off-color joke directed at first lady Melania Trump earlier late last week in which he referenced her becoming a “widow” not long before another attempt was made on the president’s life Saturday during the White House Correspondents Dinner.

Kimmel made the remark during his late-night program while imagining himself hosting the WHCA Dinner, where he delivered jokes aimed at the president and first lady, Fox News reported. “Our first lady, Melania, is here. Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow,” the ABC host said.

“It was a very light roast joke about the fact that he’s almost 80 and she’s younger than I am,” Kimmel said. “It was not—by any stretch of the definition—a call to assassination.”

Kimmel then continued to criticize the first lady, doubling down on political rhetoric after President Trump’s warnings.
