It's a he-said, we-say between Jimmy Kimmel & the White House over alleged FCC pressure on a James Talarico interview

Jimmy Kimmel said his interview with Democrat James Talarico won't air on ABC due to concerns that the FCC could take issue with it.

Charlamagne Tha God had strong words for the Trump Administration after news broke of Jimmy Kimmel's interview with James Talarico getting moved to YouTube. The post Charlamagne Declares Trump Admin ‘Officially an Authoritarian Regime’ Over Jimmy Kimmel FCC Threat first appeared on Mediaite.

The Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) lone Democratic commissioner is pointing to ABC comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s decision not to broadcast an interview with Texas Senate nominee James Talarico (D) as evidence of what she called the Trump administration’s attempts to stifle free press.

Jimmy Kimmel Live! ain’t dead yet. On Tuesday, Page Six reported Jimmy Kimmel’s long-running ABC late night talk show would end in 2027. “His contract is not getting extended,” the publication cited “a source familiar with the situation” as having stated. ABC pretty immediately denied that was the case, however.

Jimmy Kimmel returned from a long hiatus by taking aim at FCC chair Brendan Carr, referencing his show's suspension and the ongoing clash over free speech.
