WASHINGTON, April 30 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump asked on Thursday when ABC would be firing late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel and said "it better be soon".

Trump made his comments on Truth Social days after his wife Melania Trump called out for ABC to ditch Kimmel over a monologue he delivered prior to a shooting at a high-profile dinner in Washington.
