Kimmel’s interview with James Talarico will be shown on YouTube, the late night host announced

Jimmy Kimmel’s upcoming interview with Democratic Senate hopeful James Talarico will not air on ABC, the talk show host announced, citing the network’s legal troubles with Trump’s FCC as the cause.

The late night host shared the news during his opening monologue on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Wednesday, beginning by discussing the Texas Senate race in which Talarico is leading Republican Ken Paxton, according to recent polls.

“I will be interviewing James Talarico tomorrow night under unusual circumstances,” Kimmel said, before explaining that the interview will go directly to YouTube and not air on ABC amid the network’s ongoing issues with the FCC.

      Because private companies be doing private things as usual. The only corporation who stood up to Trump is the BBC because A) they’re foreign entity and do not answer to Trump and B) they are a public broadcasting company who answer to the public.
