7:01Now PlayingJimmy Kimmel has defended a joke in which he referred to first lady Melania Trump as an “expectant widow” just days before a shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
Melania slammed the sketch, which went to air last Thursday, as “hateful and violent”, and ABC faced calls to sack the comedian.
Just three days later, a shooting incident occurred at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington DC, which was attended by the President and his wife.
The attack reportedly targeted members of the Trump administration, according to authorities.
Kimmel has been quick to defend the joke, claiming it was a “light roast” about the couple's 23-year age difference.
Simon Marks reacts to the row with the late night host, the new American passport design, and gives a lookahead to the remainder of the state visit.
