Jimmy Kimmel has once again found himself in controversy over his words. But things have turned serious this time after the first lady, Melania Trump, came out to criticise his jokes. In turn, she directly asked ABC to take action against the late-night host. It all began after Jimmy made some jokes about her during a parody of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Incidentally, it was followed by shooting incidents at the actual high-profile dinner over the weekend. As a result, both Donald Trump and Melania Trump have now demanded that the network pull down the curtains on Jimmy’s show.
Will ABC fire Jimmy Kimmel?
U.S. President Donald Trump and his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, have both asked ABC to take action against Jimmy Kimmel. But ABC has not announced any plans to remove or suspend the late-night host until April 28, 2026. In fact, the network has been silent despite mounting public pressure. For those unaware, the ABC previously suspended Jimmy in September 2025. But they had to reverse the decision within days after they received major criticism from viewers and interest groups.
