The first lady railed against Kimmel earlier on Monday, calling on the network to “take a stand” against him. ABC has not yet commented.
Kimmel’s skit on Thursday had him giving his own “alternative” monologue to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, with archival clips of reaction shots from the first lady, Trump and others.
Kimmel said: “Our First Lady, Melania, is here. Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.”

The suspect, Cole Allen, is expected to appear in court Monday. He reportedly left writings, referred to as a manifesto, in which he talked of targeting Trump administration officials. The New York Post published the manifesto in full.
In September, Kimmel made comments about the response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a quip that ignited fierce criticism on the right.
A day later, FCC chairman Brendan Carr criticized Kimmel’s comments and told a podcaster that “we can do this the easy way or the hard way,” a warning to broadcasters who hold licenses regulated by the agency. Hours later, ABC announced that it was sidelining Jimmy Kimmel Live!, as two major station groups, Nexstar and Sinclair, decided to preempt it.
After a backlash, Kimmel was restored to the network airwaves a few days later, and he returned to the broadcast group stations after that.

The BADASS COOKBOOK
FEASTERVILLE-TREVOSE, Pa. (AP) — Republican presidential nominee Donald Trumpmanned the fry station at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania on Sunday before staging an impromptu news conference, answering questions through the drive-thru window.
As reporters and aides watched, an employee showed Trump how to dunk baskets of fries in oil, salt the fries and put them into boxes using a scoop. Trump, a well-known fan of fast food and a notorious germophobe, expressed amazement that he didn’t have to touch the fries with his hands.
“It requires great expertise, actually, to do it right and to do it fast,” Trump said with a grin, putting away his suit jacket and wearing an apron over his shirt and tie.
The visit came as he’s tried to counter Democratic nominee Kamala Harris’ accounts on the campaign of working at the fast-food chain while in college, an experience that Trump has claimed — without offering evidence — never happened.
