The Federal Communications Commission has directed Disney's ABC to file early broadcast license renewals for its eight TV stations, following backlash over a joke by Jimmy Kimmel about first lady Melania Trump. The order comes amid criticism from President Donald Trump and Melania Trump, who linked the comedian's remark to a recent assassination attempt on the president. ABC maintains full compliance with regulations.
Jimmy Kimmel used his Monday night monologue on ABC to defend a joke in which he said first lady Melania Trump had “a glow like an expectant widow,” arguing it was a crack about the Trumps’ age difference rather than a call for violence. The remark drew condemnation from Melania Trump and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt as authorities investigated a shooting and attempted breach near the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner at Washington’s Hilton hotel over the weekend.
