Newman joinedChicago Fireafter the pilot as co-executive producer before being promoted to executive producer then co-showrunnerbefore becoming sole showrunner in 2023.

“Working at Chicago Fire, with the absolute best cast and crew in the business, has been the highlight of my career,” Newman said in a statement. “Like so many others, I was inspired to get into TV writing because of Dick, so what a thrill it’s been to work with him and the amazing Wolf team of Peter Jankowski, Rebecca McGill and Anastasia Puglisi. I’m so grateful to them, Derek Haas and the NBC and Universal execs who have been so supportive of the show all along the way. After 14 years, you really do become a family and working with this group will always feel like home.”

Jankowski, meanwhile, released a separate statement, which read, “We’re sad to say goodbye to Andrea. She’s been at the center of the heart and soul of Chicago Fire since the beginning and the show thrived under her watch. We’re grateful for her commitment to the development of the next generation and know the show will be in great hands with Victor taking the reins.”

One Chicagofansare no strangers to seeingshakeups withinChicago Fire, Chicago MedandChicago P.D.over the years. After there were some questions about the franchise’s revolving door of cast members, NBC's president of program planningJeff Baderexplained why he wasn't concerned.

“Cast comes in, cast goes out,” Bader told TVLine in an interview published in July 2024. “It’s interesting. Because every year there are cast changes, and every year someone asks the same question about what’s going on within the One Chicago universe. But [those shows] just keep going on.”

Bader pointed out that each of the Chicago shows have continued to find success, adding, “We’re thrilled with how the Chicagos do on Wednesday. We have no plans on changing anything on that night.”

Newman, meanwhile, teasedonscreen shifts aheadof the next season.

“We’re going to have a lot of turnover,” Newman told TVLine in May 2025. “And a lot craziness going on in the CFD from the top, where people are being cut and moved, and everything’s going to get shaken up next season. There will be hellos, and there will be goodbyes. I’ll say that. That’s for sure.”

Newman also made it clear that nothing is guaranteed.

“There’s nobody safe in this shakeup,” Newman explained to TV Insider that same month. “So next season is going to be about how the s*** really hits the fan once that mandate comes down and how things get shaken up and how our team can hold together as a family while all this craziness is happening around them.”

On Saturday, April 25, the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner (WHCD) was held at the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C.

Organized by the White House Correspondents’ Association, this year’s event marked the first time Donald Trump attended the dinner as a sitting president, having reportedly boycotted it during his first term and skipped it again in 2025.

However, the high-profile gathering was disrupted around 8:36 p.m., when a lone armed assailant allegedly attempted to breach a security checkpoint in the hotel lobby, just outside the main ballroom.

Armed with multiple weapons, includingknives and firearms, the suspect, reportedly identified as Cole Tomas Allen, a 31-year-old teacher and computer programmer from California, opened fire.

Secret Service agents immediately rushed to the main stage and successfully evacuated President Trump, Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and other senior officials.

Meanwhile, in videos captured during the evacuation, attendees, including senior Cabinet members and journalists, were seen taking cover under tables as several gu**hots echoed through the hall.

Shortly after news of the incident broke, Kimmel was heavily criticized online by viewers ofJimmy Kimmel Live!over a joke he made during the April 23 episode.

Hosting an “alternative” White House Correspondents’ Dinner (WHCD) on his show, Kimmel referred to Melania as an “expectant widow,” saying, “Our First Lady, Melania, is here. Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow.”

He continued, “You know, Melania’s birthday is on Sunday. She’s planning to celebrate at home the same way she always does, looking out a window and whispering, ‘What have I done?’”

Given the timing of the parody and the events at the dinner, critics took to social media to slam not only Kimmel but also ABC and The Walt Disney Company, which airs the show.

One user wrote, “@ABC @Disney this is a complete and utter disgrace. I just cancelled my subscription. I encourage my followers, if you haven’t already to do the same. Disney has failed America.”

Another netizen said, “I will never watch thishorrible person.. shame on you!”

“Kimmel is mentally unstable. I am not shocked that Disney allows his mental illness to be on full display,” a third added harshly.

One comment read, “Kimmel is actually worse than the other ‘comedians.’ You can see the seething hatred on his face toward Trump and anyone that supports him…”

One netizen fumed online, “Jimmy Kimmel… should be fired! He basically made a threat! Did [he] know the sh**ter was going to be there…”

“This is completely outrageous no matter what side of the political aisle you are on,” one netizen fumed, while another added, “How evil do you have to be to say something like that… Pretty f**king evil!”

“It’s not even inherently funny. You have to bederanged to laugh at that.”

Similar sentiments were echoed by several public figures, including Larry O’Connor, a conservative media personality and editor ofTownhall, and Link Lauren, a Gen Z political commentator and TikTok influencer.

Larry described Kimmel as a “broken man” and called on ABC and The Walt Disney Company to hold him accountable for the comments.

Meanwhile, Link wrote in a social mediastatement, “Many in the mainstream media have stoked division and hatred for years. Jimmy Kimmel just made a disgusting ‘joke’ about Melania Trump becoming a widow.”

The armed suspect reportedly wrote in a note to his family, “I experience rage thinking about everything this administration has done”

“After the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and what transpired with President Trump, now they suddenly want to act shocked.”

As reported byNBC News, parts of the message read, “I don’t expect forgiveness. Again, my sincere apologies.”

Elsewhere, he allegedly wrote, “Administration officials (not including Mr. Patel): they are targets, prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest.”

Allen added, “I experience rage thinking about everything this administration has done.”

He is currently facing federal charges, and his first court appearance is scheduled for today, April 27, at the Federal District Court in Washington, D.C.

Allen has been charged with a**ault on a federal officer using a dangerous weapon, use of a firearm during a crime of violence, and attempted homicide of a federal officer, which are expected to be included in the formal arraignment.

Since the Correspondents’ Dinner was abruptly halted, Trump announced that a “bigger and better” version of the event will be rescheduled within 30 days.

However, a fixed date has not yet been publicly announced.

“Threating a mans wife is not a bright move… Trump should dismantle this man top to bottom. No limits,” wrote one user
