Jimmy Kimmel won’t air interview with James Talarico after threat from FCC

Late-night show host Jimmy Kimmel will not broadcast an interview with Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico to be taped Thursday, after the Federal Communications Commission “threatened” his show and its network, he said on his show Wednesday.

“For the whole 20-plus year[s] of our show, in fact, I’ve been interviewing Americans who are running for office with no problem at all,” including Hillary Clinton, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and President Donald Trump when he was a candidate in 2015, Kimmel said.
