吉米·坎摩尔已回应唐纳德和梅拉尼娅·特朗普周一呼吁美国广播公司（ABC）解雇他的事件。此前这位深夜脱口秀喜剧演员上周发表一则笑话，将第一夫人形容为“带着待产寡妇的光彩”。
这段针对总统夫人的言论，是周四《吉米·坎摩尔直播秀》环节的一部分。当时坎摩尔模拟在即将举办的白宫记者协会晚宴上表演脱口秀。
就在该晚宴两天后，一名携带枪支和刀具的男子试图闯入特朗普夫妇以及众多美国政界领袖聚集的华盛顿宴会厅，活动因此提前终止。
“像吉米·坎摩尔这样的人，不该有机会每晚进入我们的家庭，散播仇恨，”梅拉尼娅·特朗普在社交媒体上发帖称，她的丈夫随后也转发了这条内容。……“够了，受够了。现在是ABC表明立场的时候了。”
周一下午，特朗普在其Truth Social平台发帖，称坎摩尔的笑话是“令人可鄙的暴力煽动”，还表示“这太过分了。吉米·坎摩尔应该立即被迪士尼和美国广播公司解雇。”
坎摩尔在周一晚间的独白中解释，这则笑话是针对特朗普夫妇的年龄差距，称其“只是一个非常轻松的调侃，吐槽他快80岁了，而她比我还年轻。无论怎么看，这都算不上煽动暗杀。他们心知肚明。”
“多年来我一直直言不讳地反对枪支暴力，尤其是这方面。但我理解第一夫人周末经历了一段压力巨大的时光。……另外，我也认同，我们应当抵制仇恨和暴力言论。我确实这么认为。而我认为，要减少这类言论，一个很好的起点是和你的丈夫聊聊这个问题。”
坎摩尔在提到所有美国人都享有言论自由权后表示：“我为你和总统，以及周六晚宴现场的所有人都经历了这件事感到抱歉。真的。即便没有人丧生，这也依然是创伤性且令人恐惧的经历。我们应该团结起来。……但你们想让我们相信，我在晚宴三天前讲的一个笑话，对周六晚上发生的事情产生了任何影响吗？”
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻已联系美国广播公司征求置评。
特朗普与坎摩尔此前的冲突
去年9月，坎摩尔因在查理·柯克遇刺事件后的言论遭到包括特朗普在内的保守人士批评，因此被停播数晚。当时坎摩尔曾表示，美国“周末又创下了新的下限——MAGA帮派试图将谋杀查理·柯克的凶手描述成其他人，而非他们中的一员，还竭尽所能从中捞取政治资本。”
坎摩尔并未为这些言论全面道歉，但他承认自己明白这些话会冒犯部分人。9月23日他回归节目时表示，“我无意指责任何特定群体，因为这显然是一个精神严重失常的人所为”，他指的是已被拘留等待审判的涉案枪手。
坎摩尔的深夜脱口秀竞争对手、同样经常批评特朗普的斯蒂芬·科伯特，其哥伦比亚广播公司节目将于下月停播。
对坎摩尔笑话的更多批评
白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特称，坎摩尔周四的笑话是民主党人和部分媒体人士煽动言论的一部分，“这种言论为暴力披上了合法性外衣”。
“哪个正常人会说，妻子会因为丈夫可能遇刺而光彩焕发？”莱维特说道。没有迹象表明坎摩尔当时是在暗示暴力。
全国宗教广播者协会已向联邦选举委员会提交投诉，要求该机构调查美国广播公司。
“我们国家的暴力事件并非一夜之间出现的，”全国宗教广播者协会主席兼首席执行官特洛伊·米勒说道，“当有影响力的人士拿死亡开玩笑，或将政治对手视为可随意处置的对象时，这会助长一种文化，让本就精神不稳的人觉得暴力是可以想象的。”

Jimmy Kimmel defends himself after Donald and Melania Trump call for him to be fired
April 28, 2026 / 2:31 AM EDT / CBS/AP
Jimmy Kimmel has responded to Donald and Melania Trump calling on Monday for ABC to fire him in the wake of the late-night comic making a joke last week in which he described the first lady as having “the glow of an expectant widow.”
The remark about the president’s wife was part of a routine on Thursday’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in which he pretended to deliver a comedy routine at the then-upcoming White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.
That event two nights later was cut short when a man armed with guns and knives tried to enter the Washington ballroom where the Trumps and much of the nation’s political leadership had gathered.
“People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate,” Melania Trump said in a social media post later echoed by her husband. … “Enough is enough. It is time for ABC to take a stand.”
In a post on his Truth Social platform Monday afternoon, Mr. Trump called Kimmel’s joke a “despicable call to violence” and said “this is something far beyond the pale. Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC.”
Kimmel described the joke during his Monday night monologue as being about the Trumps’ age difference, calling it “a very light roast joke about the fact that he’s almost 80 and she’s younger than I am. It was not by any stretch of the definition a call to assassination. And they know that.
“I’ve been very vocal for many years speaking out against gun violence, in particular. But I understand that the first lady had a stressful experience over the weekend. … And also, I agree that hateful and violent rhetoric is something we should reject. I do. And I think a great place to start to dial that back would be to have a conversation with your husband about it.”
After noting that all Americans have a right to free speech, Kimmel said, “I am sorry that you and the president and everyone in that room on Saturday went through that. I really am. Because no one got killed doesn’t mean it wasn’t traumatic and scary. And we should come together. … But do you want us to believe that a joke I made three days before this dinner had any effect on anything that happened (Saturday night)?”
CBS News has reached out to ABC for comment.
Prior Trump-Kimmel clash
Kimmel was pulled from the air for several nights in September after being criticized by conservatives, including Mr. Trump, for his remarks in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk assassination. Kimmel had said that America “hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”
Kimmel did not issue a blanket apology for the remarks, but he did say he could see how they were offensive to some. When he returned to the air on Sept. 23, he said it was “not my intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what was obviously a deeply disturbed individual,” referring to the alleged gunman, who is in custody pending trial.
His late-night competitor, Stephen Colbert, another frequent Trump critic, is seeing his CBS show end next month.
More criticism of Kimmel’s joke
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Kimmel’s Thursday joke was part of a campaign of rhetoric from Democrats and some in the media that “has helped to legitimize this violence.”
“Who in their right mind says a wife would be glowing over the potential murder of her beloved husband?” Leavitt said. There was no indication that Kimmel was referring to violence.
The National Religious Broadcasters association filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission, asking the agency to investigate ABC.
“We’re seeing a pattern of violence in this country that didn’t appear overnight,” said Troy Miller, NRB’s president and CEO. “When influential voices joke about death or treat political opponents as disposable, it contributes to a culture where violence feels thinkable to the already unstable.”
