The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ordered on Tuesday an early licence review of Disney's TV stations after a joke by late-night host Jimmy Kimmel prompted calls from the White House for ABC to fire the comedian.
The FCC said in a filing that the review was related to an investigation into the stations for possible "unlawful discrimination." FCC Chairman Brendan Carr had previously warned Disney that he would examine the company's practices around diversity, equity and inclusion.
Last Thursday, Kimmel, in a parody of the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner, joked that first lady Melania Trump had "a glow like an expectant widow," hours before a gunman breached a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton, causing a significant security incident.
