Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel is under fire after a joke about US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump resurfaced following an attack during the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
Kimmel defended himself, clarifying that there was no connection between the joke and the incident, and questioned if his remarks had any effect on the event.
Trump called for his dismissal in a message to broadcaster ABC, describing the joke as a 'despicable call to violence,' while Melania urged the broadcaster to take action.
Kimmel expressed sympathy for the president, Melania, and others present, and questioned the first lady about hateful and violent rhetoric, suggesting a conversation with her husband.
