Kimmel Faces FCC Crackdown on Guest Booking | Durham News

Jimmy Kimmel claims the FCC is targeting his show for booking political guests, citing threats over a Texas Senate candidate’s interview that aired only on YouTube—not TV. He argues this marks the first time in 20+ years he’s faced such interference, contrasting it with past interviews of Trump, Clinton, and Cruz. The White House dismisses his claims as “play-acting,” while the FCC’s recent shift on the equal-time rule may be at the heart of the dispute. Kimmel’s full interview with Talarico remains available on YouTube, turning this into a fast-evolving free speech showdown.
