Jimmy Kimmel responded after President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump demanded he be fired from 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!.' In an April 27 monologue, Kimmel joked about waking up to a first lady’s statement calling for his firing. The backlash followed jokes from his April 23 “pretend roast,” including saying Melania had a “glow like an expectant widow.” After a White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting on April 25 injured a Secret Service agent, Melania accused Kimmel of “hateful and violent rhetoric.” Kimmel said the line was about the couple’s age gap, apologized for what the room went through, and rejected it as a call to assassination.
