Jimmy Kimmel announced on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' that his interview with Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico would not air on ABC's broadcast, instead being shown only on YouTube. Kimmel cited threats from the FCC under the Trump administration as the reason for pulling the interview from over-the-air television. The move echoes similar pre-emptions by other late-night hosts covering Talarico. The episode adds to ongoing tensions between late-night television and the FCC over political content, raising concerns about press freedom and government pressure on broadcasters ahead of the midterm elections.
