Kimmel’s interview with James Talarico will be shown on YouTube, the late night host announced
Jimmy Kimmel’s upcoming interview with Democratic Senate hopeful James Talarico will not air on ABC, the talk show host announced, citing the network’s legal troubles with Trump’s FCC as the cause.
The late night host shared the news during his opening monologue on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Wednesday, beginning by discussing the Texas Senate race in which Talarico is leading Republican Ken Paxton, according to recent polls.
“I will be interviewing James Talarico tomorrow night under unusual circumstances,” Kimmel said, before explaining that the interview will go directly to YouTube and not air on ABC amid the network’s ongoing issues with the FCC.
An interview with a Senate candidate is pretty clearly exactly what the framers had in mind for the first amendment. I can’t think of a more on-the-nose situation of government action that would be more applicable to the first amendment. Congress passed a law to create the FCC.
Can’t really get more clearcut than that.
