ABC has chosen not to take action against Jimmy Kimmel after he faced backlash from President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump over a joke made during his monologue at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Kimmel's joke referred to Melania as an ‘expectant widow’ in light of the president's age, which he later clarified was a light-hearted roast, not a serious comment. In response to the criticism, Kimmel remarked that everyone has experienced a situation where a public figure demands their firing. He emphasized the importance of free speech and noted that he has consistently spoken out against gun violence. Meanwhile, Trump criticized Kimmel on social media, calling his comments shocking and demanding that he be fired. Despite the controversy, ABC confirmed that Kimmel's show will continue as usual, indicating that they are moving past the incident.
