The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is reportedly considering an 'unprecedented' review of broadcast licenses held by The Walt Disney Company due to a joke made by Jimmy Kimmel on his ABC late-night show. Kimmel referred to First Lady Melania Trump as an 'expectant widow,' which sparked backlash from President Donald Trump and Melania Trump, who demanded Kimmel's firing. Although the FCC has not confirmed any formal review, Chairman Brendan Carr has previously criticized Disney's diversity initiatives, indicating that the review could also relate to these concerns. Following the controversy, Disney's stock experienced a nearly 1% drop. The FCC's potential actions include ordering Disney's eight stations to renew their licenses ahead of their scheduled renewal in 2028, a move described as unprecedented. Kimmel has defended his joke, labeling it a light roast, and has previously faced scrutiny from Carr, whom he criticized as 'Trump's little ferret.'
