The US regulatory body has announced it will review Disney's broadcast licences in light of a recent incident involving Jimmy Kimmel.
Kimmel made a joke referring to Melania Trump as an 'expectant widow,' which has drawn criticism and led to calls for his dismissal from ABC, a Disney-owned network.
This scrutiny comes as the White House reportedly pressures ABC to take action against Kimmel, raising questions about the intersection of comedy, media, and political influence.
