Kimmel says interview with James Talarico won't air on TV under pressure from the FCC

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel announced that his scheduled television interview with James Talarico, the Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate in Texas, will not be broadcast on television. Kimmel stated that the decision was made under pressure from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the agency that regulates television, which he accused of threatening the show.

To circumvent the agency's authority, the interview is slated to air exclusively on YouTube. According to the reports, this digital release allows the production to bypass any control or regulation by the FCC.
