Jimmy Kimmel called Melania Trump "an expectant widow" in a WHCD parody days before the gala was disrupted by a shooting at the Washington Hilton.

Kimmel also used the parody to mock the Trumps' relationship, portraying distance between the president and the first lady.

"Oh, by the way, Melania, this is Donald. Donald, this is Melania," Kimmel said.

The comedian pivoted to the first lady's April 26 birthday and imagined how she would mark the occasion.

"She's planning to celebrate at home the same way she always does, looking out a window and whispering, 'What have I done?'" Kimmel said.

Kimmel's segment aired just days before the annual Correspondents' Dinner was thrown into chaos when authorities said 31-year-old Cole Allen of Torrance, Calif., rushed a Secret Service checkpoint at the Washington Hilton armed with multiple weapons and opened fire on an officer.

Fox News Digital reported the officer was struck in a ballistic vest and taken to a hospital, while agents returned fire and detained Allen, who was also transported for treatment. Trump, first lady Melania Trump and senior administration officials were then rushed from the venue by Secret Service agents.
