Jimmy Kimmel defended his controversial joke about the First Lady's glow of an "expectant widow" on his show, "Jimmy Kimmel Live," following calls from Donald and Melania Trump for him to be fired by Disney and ABC. The President and First Lady of the United States posted separate statements on social media condemning Kimmel for his joke. Kimmel defended the joke, stating it was a light roast joke about their age difference and the look of joy we see on each other when they are together. The incident occurred a few days after the White House Correspondents Dinner ended due to a suspected shooter attempting to assassinate Donald Trump.
