Melania Trump blasts Jimmy Kimmel as a 'coward,' urges ABC to step in First lady Melania Trump is calling on ABC to punish comedian Jimmy Kimmel over a sketch during which the late-night host joked that she had the “glow” of an “expectant widow.” Kimmel’s sketch aired on Thursday evening, just two days before a shooting outside the annual White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, where authorities say an armed man attempted to gain entry to the Washington Hilton ballroom targeting President Trump and other administration officials.
