Kimmel Moves Talarico Interview to YouTube | Tulsa News

Jimmy Kimmel’s interview with Texas Senate candidate James Talarico is skipping TV and heading straight to YouTube — a strategic move to dodge FCC scrutiny over equal airtime rules. This follows a similar pattern after Stephen Colbert’s February interview with Talarico was also moved online. With the FCC under the Trump administration signaling stricter enforcement of political fairness regulations, late-night hosts like Kimmel say they’re being pressured over editorial choices. Kimmel blames FCC policy shifts for the new restrictions, recalling past tensions like Trump’s public call for his firing. By going digital, Kimmel sidesteps potential regulatory interference while still airing the conversation — a quiet but defiant stand against what he sees as unwarranted political oversight.
