FCC Reviews Disney's Broadcast Licenses After Jimmy Kimmel's Controversial Joke
Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel is under scrutiny following a joke he made about First Lady Melania Trump, referring to her as an 'expectant widow.' The joke, made shortly before a shooting incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, prompted the White House to urge ABC, Kimmel's network, to fire him. In response, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has initiated an early review of Disney's television broadcast licenses. Disney, the parent company of ABC, maintains that its stations operate within FCC guidelines. The situation has sparked a debate over the boundaries of comedic expression and the responsibilities of broadcasters.
