Jimmy Kimmel says show won't air interview with James Talarico on TV, citing FCC threats
Jimmy Kimmel announced that his show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, will not air its interview with Texas Senate candidate James Talarico on television due to threats from the Trump administration's FCC against ABC. The interview will instead be posted on the show's YouTube channel, where Kimmel believes they get more viewers. This decision follows similar concerns and actions taken by other late-night shows regarding FCC regulations and political guests.
The decision highlights the tension between political figures using media platforms and regulatory bodies like the FCC, potentially impacting future broadcast content and political campaigning strategies.
The interview with James Talarico was previously discussed on The View and Stephen Colbert's show, with Colbert's decision to move his interview to YouTube resulting in a significant campaign fundraising boost.
