Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel is under fire after cracking a joke about First Lady Melania Trump, calling her an "expectant widow" just days before a shooting incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. The remark has sparked a political backlash, with the White House urging ABC to fire the comedian and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ordering an early review of Disney's television broadcast licenses.
Kimmel defended his joke, but critics argue it was in poor taste given the timing. A spokesperson for Disney, ABC's parent company, told the BBC that its stations serve the public within FCC guidelines.
BBC's Regan Morris reports from outside Kimmel's show on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles.
