Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel's comments about First Lady Melania Trump sparked a massive backlash, with MAGA social media users calling for his firing.
Responding to Kimmel's comments, Melania Trump urged ABC to 'take a stand' against the late-night host, saying his words were 'corrosive' and 'deepened the political sickness within America.'
The backlash against Kimmel has been intense, with hundreds of thousands of posts calling for his removal from ABC.
This is not the first time Kimmel has faced backlash over his comments, with his show briefly removed from the air in September 2025 after ABC and Disney suspended it in response to his comments about the alleged assassin of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
