Jimmy Kimmel is facing intense backlash, along with calls for his firing, after a controversial joke about Melania Trump aired just days before a shocking security breach at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday, April 25.
What began as a satirical jab has now spiraled into a full-blown controversy, as Kimmel has refused to back down, even as his show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, reportedly faces an unexpected setback amid the backlash.
An anticipated guest appearance, planned weeks in advance, was canceled at the last minute when the guest backed out just hours before the broadcast.
