Jimmy Kimmel, host of the Disney-owned ABC late-night show Jimmy Kimmel Live!, put on a mock White House Correspondents’ Dinner roast during Thursday night’s broadcast in which he fanaticized about President Donald Trump’s death in a joke aimed at First Lady Melania Trump.
Firing off one-liners about President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Stephen Miller, among other White House officials, Kimmel set his sights on the First Lady.
“And of course, our first lady, Melania, is here. Look at So beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow,” Kimmel said to the delight of the studio audience.
Kimmel’s ten-minute monologue meant to, as Kimmel said, give him the opportunity to “do some of the jokes a comedian might do if our president wasn’t a trembling drama queen who’s scared of comedy,” aired just days before the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday, which saw 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen of Torrance, California, reportedly charge through a metal detector and shoot a Secret Service agent in the chest before being tackled to the ground and taken into custody.
