Comedian Jimmy Kimmel hit back on Monday at Donald Trump's call for him to lose his job over a joke about First Lady Melania Trump days before an alleged attempt to assassinate the US president.

Trump said Kimmel should be fired for likening the first lady to an "expectant widow" on Thursday, two days before a shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington that the couple attended.
