'Glow like an expectant widow': Jimmy Kimmel's nasty roast draws Melania Trump's retort

Kimmel delivered a satirical monologue before the event imagining how the annual dinner might have unfolded, with several jokes about Trump, calling him a "drama queen" before turning to the First Lady, quipping,"Our First Lady, Melania, is here.

He also congratulated her on what he called “the world’s first motionless picture,” a jab at her film project and took other potshots at her.
