‘Grow a F*cking Spine!’ House Dem Savages ABC’s ‘Self Censorship’ After Kimmel Moves Talarico Interview Online
Jimmy Kimmel said the Republican‑led FCC has “threatened me, threatened our show, threatened our network, ABC, our affiliates, our local stations” over routine editorial decisions such as booking political guests.
Because of this, his interview with Talarico — who is in a tight race against Republican Ken Paxton — will not air on ABC and will instead be uploaded to YouTube.
This is the second time a Talarico interview has been moved online; CBS did the same earlier in the year out of fear of violating new FCC guidance.
