Comedian Kimmel hits back at criticism over Melania Trump joke
Published on April 28, 2026.
Comedian Jimmy Kimmel has responded to criticism from President Donald Trump for a joke he made about First Lady Melania Trump, comparing her to an "expectant widow". This comes just days before an alleged assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Despite the criticism, Kimmel maintains that the joke was a light-hearted reference to their age difference. He also suggested that he might invite Trump onto his show to discuss "hateful" rhetoric.
