## Resource

Jimmy Kimmel’s show is dodging FCC scrutiny by moving a high-stakes interview with Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico off national TV and onto YouTube, citing mounting pressure from the current FCC — which he claims is targeting “simple, traditional editorial decisions.” This follows a pattern: earlier this year, the FCC questioned whether talk shows like Kimmel’s qualify as bona fide news, potentially forcing equal airtime for political candidates. While Kimmel has long interviewed figures like Trump without issue, he now sees the landscape shifting and wants to shield his network from what he calls “nonsense” investigations. The move comes as Talarico faces a tough race against Trump-backed Ken Paxton, adding political stakes to the media maneuver. ABC itself has been under Trump administration pressure, even suing the FCC over what it called a retaliatory probe into its diversity practices. Kimmel’s decision reflects a strategic retreat — avoiding further entanglement with regulators until after the election, while navigating a fraught media environment.
