There is nothing funny about an ‘expectant widow’
I miss the decent days of Johnny Carson.
Silvio Canto, Jr. | April 28, 2026
Once upon a time, a fellow named Carson dominated late night TV. It was more than a show. My father told me that men would be talking about his lines in the coffee break room. Even people who didn’t watch it knew about his one-liners, because that’s the way it was.
Who is repeating Jimmy Kimmel’s jokes these days? Probably not a lot of people, unless you like a joke about an expectant widow or the current First Lady losing her husband, the president.
Let’s check this out:

So what’s the joke anyway? I could understand a joke about a woman becoming a football widow during the NFL playoffs. I’ve heard women say that and it can be funny, especially when the husband just becomes your neighbor that you watch games with.
So again—who thinks that this is funny? If you do, then you need to see a doctor and get Trump out of your head.
Kimmel answered back saying something about the president’s age rather than an assassination. He is 80 you know, but Kimmel reminded us that he’s against gun violence. No matter what, it was a bad choice of words, given the two previous assassination attempts.
Will ABC fire him? I don’t care, but a little decency might be in order.
