Kimmel's BRILLIANT Response to Melania's Demand ABC Fire Him 🔥 - "Talk to Your Husband"! - LateNight



Melania Trump called Kimmel's words "corrosive" and demanded ABC fire him — all over a joke he made at his Alternative WHCD roast five days ago.

The joke? "You have a glow like an expectant widow."

Kimmel's response? He's not backing down.

"If you want to believe a joke I made three days before this dinner had any effect on anything that happened — maybe someone should look into that psychic lady too."

And his closing message to Melania?

"I think a great place to start to dial back hateful and violent rhetoric would be to have a conversation with your husband about it."

As reported by USA Today this morning, April 28, 2026.

And Colbert is in repeats again this week, since I post his monologue and any political guests every night, have since 2017 I think. TexasTowelie posts Jimmy Kimmel. And I'm really bummed out that Colbert is in repeats this week since he's running out of time.

They are the NATIONAL CONSCIENCE during a currently "consciousless political era".
