During his monologue on the Monday, Apr. 27 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the late-night host addressed the controversy for the first time and said, “You know how sometimes you wake up in the morning and the first lady puts out a statement demanding you be fired from your job? We’ve all been there, right?”
The comment occurred during the Thursday, Apr. 23 episode of the show—two days before the actual event—when the comedian presented an “alternative” White House Correspondents’ Dinner monologue.

“But I understand that the first lady had a stressful experience over the weekend, and probably every weekend is pretty stressful in that house,” he continued. “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. Donald Trump is allowed to say whatever he wants to say, as are you and as am I. Because under the First Amendment, we have, as Americans, a right to free speech.”
He then played a clip of White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt saying before the event that “there will be some shots fired tonight,” presumably referring to the jokes Trump had prepared for the event.
