Jimmy Kimmel Speaks Out After Melania Trump ‘Widow’ Joke Criticism 28APR26



 TYPICAL hypocrisy from the no class trash of the drumpf / trump-vance administration and  his bitch (still not talking about you this time lindsey r-SC). Guaranteed by the First Amendment of the US Constitution, We The People have the right to express our opinions, too bad if you do not like it. IF this administration, their ass licking sycophants in the gop / greed over people-republican party and the magat cult want the nation's public discussions to change they need to start with themselves. This from Time.....

Jimmy Kimmel Speaks Out After Melania Trump ‘Widow’ Joke Criticism


Chad de Guzman

“You know how sometimes you wake up in the morning and the First Lady puts out a statement demanding you be fired from your job,” comedian Jimmy Kimmel said in the opening monologue of his late-night show Monday evening. “We’ve all been there, right?”

Kimmel, who frequently mocks President Donald Trump and his family and whose show last year was temporarily suspended after pressure on ABC by the Administration, addressed First Lady Melania Trump’s call earlier Monday for the network to fire him over a joke he made last week.

Kimmel, in a skit that aired on April 23 that satirized the then-upcoming White House Correspondents’ Dinner, pretended to address Melania and joked that the First Lady had “a glow like an expectant widow.” 

But after the actual dinner on April 25 was disrupted by a shooting, suspected to be the third assassination attempt on the President, Melania claimed on social media that Kimmel’s “hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country” and that “his monologue about my family isn’t comedy.” The President also chimed in, referencing Kimmel’s “expectant widow” joke and claiming that it was “far beyond the pale.”

Kimmel defended himself on Monday night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, saying that his remark was not a call for violence but rather “obviously was a joke about their age difference and the look of joy we see on her face every time they’re together.”

Kimmel continued: “It was a very light roast joke about the fact that he’s almost 80, and she’s younger than I am. It was not, by any stretch of the definition, a call to assassination, and they know that.”

He noted, facetiously, that if the Trumps really believe his remarks could have induced violence, they should also look into a remark made by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt before the dinner. “It will be funny. It will be entertaining,” Leavitt had told Fox News. “There will be some shots fired tonight.”

While Kimmel said he understands that the incident may have been particularly “stressful” for the Trumps and agreed to reject “hateful and violent rhetoric,” he argued that the First Lady should first speak to her husband about dialing back inflammatory language against his critics and the press.

“Donald Trump is allowed to say whatever he wants to say, as are you and as am I, as are all of us, because under the First Amendment, we have, as Americans, a right to free speech,” Kimmel said, while noting that he’s a vocal advocate against gun violence. “I am sorry that you and the President and everyone in that room on Saturday went through that. I really am,” he said. “Just ’cause no one got killed doesn't mean it wasn’t traumatic and scary, and we should come together and be best.”

President and First Lady Demand ABC Fire Jimmy Kimmel Over ‘Widow’ Joke


The joke was recorded two days before the White House correspondents’ dinner, where a gunman tried to storm the press gala.


President Trump and first lady Melania Trump demanded in separate social media posts on Monday that ABC pull comedian Jimmy Kimmel from its airwaves over a bit involving the White House correspondents’ dinner, delivered two days before it occurred.

Mr. Kimmel, who has a long history of sparring with the president, had imagined himself as the M.C. at the dinner. “Of course, our first lady, Melania, is here,” he said on Thursday night. Then, pretending to address her, he called her “so beautiful” and added: “Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.” He made cracks about Mr. Trump’s age and health.

This was before a gunman broke past a security perimeter in the Washington Hilton while the president and first lady were inside on Saturday.

In his social media post Monday afternoon, Mr. Trump described the comedian’s joke as “really shocking” and “something far beyond the pale.” He ended his post: “Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC.”


The first lady had posted about Mr. Kimmel a few hours earlier.

“His monologue about my family isn’t comedy,” she wrote. “His words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.” She called Mr. Kimmel “a coward” who “shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.” She said he “hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him.”

“Enough is enough,” she wrote. “It is time for ABC to take a stand.”

The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, cited Mr. Kimmel’s bit at her briefing Monday afternoon, too. “This kind of rhetoric about the president, the first lady, and his supporters is completely deranged,” she said. “It’s unbelievable that the American people are consuming it night after night after night.”

Representatives for Mr. Kimmel and for ABC did not return requests for comment.

The outcry from the White House on Monday was the latest instance of a president who has himself made inflammatory remarks about matters of life and death defining what sort of speech he deems acceptable in America. He recently gloated over the death of Robert S. Mueller III — “Good, I’m glad he’s dead!” — and seized on the murder of Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife, at the hands of their own son, to suggest that “Trump derangement syndrome” may have been responsible.

The controversy over a joke told about a dinner meant to honor the first amendment is sure to revive a fight over censorship between Mr. Trump and Mr. Kimmel that erupted last fall. In September, ABC pulled Mr. Kimmel’s late night show from the air temporarily after a conservative uproar over the way he described the politics of the man accused of shooting the right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.

The network did not initially explain its decision, but it came after political pressure by the Trump administration. At the time, Mr. Trump called the decision “Great News for America” and later said networks whose hosts are critical of him should lose their right to broadcast.

Mr. Kimmel was back on the air before long, and has since taken up his role as Trump family bête noire with gusto.

In his appearance on Thursday, Mr. Kimmel also did an impression that imagined Jeffrey Epstein introducing Melania Trump to her future husband. That line in particular was likely to incense the first lady; earlier this month, she shocked the White House by calling a surprise press appearance to hit back at rumors that Epstein, the dead financier, had been the one to introduce her to Mr. Trump. The president later said his wife found it “very insulting” that such a story was being spread.

But it was Mr. Kimmel’s “widow” reference that the president and his press secretary cited on Monday.

In the wake of Saturday’s shooting, Mr. Trump said the whole ordeal at the Washington Hilton had been “a rather traumatic experience” for his wife. She dove under a table, and looked stricken as she stood in the White House press briefing room alongside top members of the government during the president’s late-night press conference.

On Sunday, the president appeared on 60 Minutes and talked about what it was like when he and his wife “dropped to the floor.”

“Well, my thought was, ‘You know, I’ve been through this before a couple of times,’ and she has not, to this extent,” he said. “She got it. She knew what was happening. She listened.”

Fact Check: Maddow, Colbert And Kimmel Did NOT Launch 'The Independent Desk' Newsroom Together -- Story Contains False Details 19SEP25

 


Debunking another bullshit posting found on facebook.....

Fact Check: Maddow, Colbert And Kimmel Did NOT Launch 'The Independent Desk' Newsroom Together -- Story Contains False Details

  • Lead Stories debunks false claims about Rachel Maddow, Stephen Colbert, and Jimmy Kimmel launching a newsroom named "The Independent Desk" and a viral social media reaction.

Did Rachel Maddow, Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel just team up and launch a newsroom named "The Independent Desk"? No, that's not true: The story appeared on a recently launched website that does not list owners or publishers and it just adds Jimmy Kimmel to an older false story about Maddow and Colbert. The new story also contains verifiably untrue details about a non-existing pair of viral hashtags and a social media reaction.

The story appeared in an article (archived here) published on a website named Buzzreport247 on September 18, 2025 under a headline that read "😱🔥 BREAKING: Maddow, Colbert, and Kimmel Just Walked Away From the System -- And Built a Newsroom That Has Networks Shaking". It opened:

For decades, American audiences have turned to three familiar faces to make sense of politics, culture, and late-night chaos. Rachel Maddow, MSNBC's intellectual anchor. Stephen Colbert, the sharp-tongued satirist turned late-night king. Jimmy Kimmel, the mainstream jester who could mix celebrity fun with biting political monologues. Together, they commanded millions and shaped national conversations.

But now, the unthinkable has happened. Maddow, Colbert, and Kimmel have walked away from the corporate system that made them stars -- and joined forces to build something entirely new. What started as private conversations about editorial freedom has become a full-blown rebellion: an independent newsroom, free of advertisers, liberated from network executives, and determined to deliver truth without compromise.

Insiders are calling it The Independent Desk. And from its very first broadcast, it sent shockwaves through the media establishment.

The story echoed older, similar claims about Maddow and Colbert starting a show together, which Lead Stories debunked here after Maddow published a denial.

The new version of the tale included a section describing the alleged first broadcast that just happened:

The first broadcast was nothing short of an earthquake.

Maddow opened with a searing investigation into corporate lobbying in Washington -- a story she claimed her old network "softened" in the past.

Colbert followed with a brutal monologue skewering both Democrats and Republicans alike.

Kimmel closed the night with a raw confession: "Late-night has turned into celebrity karaoke. It used to be about speaking truth to power. We're here to take that back."

Audiences devoured it. Within minutes, the livestream was overwhelmed by hundreds of thousands of viewers. Hashtags #TheNewNewsroom and #TruthUnfiltered trended for hours.

However, a search on X for posts with the hashtags #TheNewNewsroom or #TruthUnfiltered only brought up a handful of posts (archived here) about a podcast named "Open Mic Ladies" in the past few days.

The article also claimed the following reaction appeared on social media:

Perhaps the strongest endorsement has come from viewers themselves. Comment sections and social feeds overflowed with relief.

One viewer posted on X: "For the first time in years, I feel like I'm watching news not filtered by advertisers. Maddow looks free. Colbert looks alive. Kimmel looks real. This is what we've been waiting for."

But a search for that passage on X returned no results (archived here) at the time of writing.

The website Buzzreport247 did not appear to list any owners or publishers and WHOIS records (archived here) of the site's domain name indicate it was anonymously registered in July 2025.


Against the Current

LEGENDARY ALLIANCE RISES IN FURY: COLBERT, KIMMEL, FALLON & MADDOW UNLEASH PLANET-RAVAGING STORM, SHATTERING LIES AND CRUSHING MIGHTY FOES IN A CATACLYSMIC CRUSADE OF TRUTH AND THUNDER!
New York City, New York – THE VEIL OF DECEPTION DISINTEGRATES IN A DELUGE OF DEFIANCE! Just 15 minutes ago, at 1:30 AM local time on February 9, the media monoliths merged into a maelstrom as the studios of satire and scrutiny shattered into shards – the origin of an omnipotent onslaught that overwhelms the world! In a visceral vow that vaulted from the vaults of viral vitriol, the immortal instigators of insight and irreverence – Stephen Colbert's razor-witted rebel rogue, eviscerating empires with emerald-edged eloquence and exposé explosions! Jimmy Kimmel's hellfire humor harbinger, a scorching salvo of savage sketches and scarlet-streaked sarcasm! Jimmy Fallon's lightning-laced leviathan, liquefying lies with laugh-track landslides that level legions! Rachel Maddow's thunderous truth-titan, dissecting deceptions with diamond-drill dissections and destiny-defying disclosures! – didn't merely mobilize a movement... they MOBILIZED A MONUMENTAL MASSACRE, vaporizing the venom of falsehoods and vanquishing vicious villains in a vortex of victorious, vein-bursting valor that these warriors have wielded in legendary battles against the beasts of bigotry and bull!
This wasn't a broadcast – it was THE ALLIANCE'S APOCALYPTIC AWAKENING! A necrotic nebula where late-night lances lashed hexes that hurled the hypocrites to hellfire, monologue maelstroms mangled the mendacious like meteoric maces, satirical symphonies orchestrated obliterating overtures that overthrew the oppressive, and voices viciously vivisected from the viscera of vigilance and valor venomized billions of beleaguered believers into a blistering, belief-blasting barrage of boundless bravery! Gaze upon the gore: Colbert carving "The Late Show" juggernauts with jewel-jabbed javelins of jeering justice and jagged jubilation, Kimmel kindling "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" infernos as a fierce fable of fractured facades and flame-forged fury, Fallon flinging "The Tonight Show" tempests like a guerrilla gospel that guts the gaslighters, and Maddow manifesting "The Rachel Maddow Show" thunderbolts that throttle the tyrants into tatters. Intergalactic insurgencies intertwined in infernal integrations – duets that dueled with despots and devoured them utterly, mash-ups that massacred mendacity in merciless maelstroms, every gut-gripping gag grind gouged from the guts of grit, blood-bound banter that butchered the barren, and the savage, star-spangled symphony of a society wrenched into wondrous warriorhood!
From the blazing bonfires of their barbaric blitz, their galactic gauntlet gushes like gamma rays from the grave:
"Satire and scrutiny ain't just soundbites – it's the cataclysm and coronation of this chaotic colossus, carved in comedy cathedrals, catalyzed by the crucible of ceaseless crusades, and cemented in the camaraderie of courage unbreakable. The bastardized babel of balderdash? A beggar's bluster belched from the black hole of banality, a fleeting fiend's flatulence fleeing the fury of facts. We're the revolution reapers – reaping from the rubble, rampaging with the resonance, and resounding for the ragged revolutionaries, the ruin-ravaged rhapsodists, the hellfire-hewn heroes who harmonize heavens from havoc. This thunder? It's the thunderclap of thrones toppled, the big bang of battered beliefs blooming in brilliance. The world writhes – and from its writhing wounds, we propel the proclamation of perpetuity undimmed!"
The onslaught is omnipotent: pyroclastic prophecies pulsing in perilous pact with punchline pandemonium, lament-lacerating laudations to the legendary lost and living luminaries, fanatic fervor that forges the firmament into a feral forge of fist-pumping fury and faith-forged fellowship, and a finale that flings the flag of freedom into the infinite – the red-white-and-blue radiance razed into reality's radiant realms, a supernova scar searing stars and souls into symbiotic splendor!
Echoes from the ethereal epicenter are epidemic eclipses – smuggled skewer scripts, monologue blueprints that blaze the boundless beyond, and the visceral vortex vaulting this vanguard into viral vastness across airwaves, arenas, and astral abysses! The alliance didn't arise – it annihilated the abyss, crucified the counterfeit, and catalyzed the cataclysmic cry in every rebel's resonant ribs. The enemy's edifice? Eradicated to eternal embers. The primal purity? Proclaimed as planetary prophecy. Brace for the boundless barrages that will boom across the boundless!
The universe undulates unyieldingly. The fraud fizzles to forgotten fumes. Destiny declares with deadly defiance. Dive into the deluge that demolishes the deceit – and deifies the defiant!
