Jimmy Kimmel says he dropped Talarico interview from broadcast after FCC pressure

Late-night talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel said Wednesday that he would not broadcast an interview with Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico because of pressure from the Trump administration.

Kimmel did not specify what that pressure was but said the Federal Communications Commission had “threatened” him, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” the ABC network, and ABC’s affiliate and local stations “based on simple traditional editorial decisions, guest bookings it would seem they don’t like.”
