Fox News Host Groans As Jimmy Kimmel Ratings Explode After Melania Joke Backlash

The show reached its highest audience numbers when a Fox News presenter expressed his dissatisfaction with the program. The late night host’s viewership soared after he made a joke about Melania Trump that sent conservatives into a meltdown.

The controversy began when Kimmel used the term “expectant widow” to refer to Melania during his monologue about Donald Trump‘s legal problems. The dark joke proved to be the most intense reaction which people showed towards the comedic material. The actual outcome of the reaction exceeded the joke’s initial impact.

Brian Kilmeade from Fox News showed disapproval through his audible groan while he talked about Kimmel’s increasing audience numbers. The segment displayed how Jimmy Kimmel’s show experienced a tremendous increase in audience size. The conservative outrage machine had begun its full operation.

Another commenter nailed the irony: “Maga people now claim that nobody watches late night television programs. Yet they assert that late night comedy shows present a risk. Jimmy cannot perform dangerous jokes for empty audience chairs.

The Streisand Effect is working overtime here. Fox News and conservative media outlets keep attacking Kimmel which results in more viewers who want to understand the situation better. The phenomenon occurs with predictable timing.
