Jimmy Kimmel Calls Out FCC Over New Attempts to “Stifle” Late-Night Shows Talking About Donald Trump

Jimmy Kimmel started his show on Thursday by criticizing Stephen Carr for attempting to limit free speech. This came after Carr suggested talk shows, including The View, should be required to give equal airtime to all political candidates. New guidance from the FCC clarifies that late-night shows aren’t considered legitimate news programs and therefore aren’t exempt from the equal time rule. Donald Trump quickly shared this news online, specifically mentioning Kimmel’s show and The View. However, Kimmel wasn’t going to let this issue go unchallenged.
