电视主持人吉米·金梅尔宣布，其与民主党参议院候选人詹姆斯·塔拉里科的采访将不在电视上播出，而是改为在YouTube平台发布1。金梅尔指责称，在特朗普政府领导下，联邦通信委员会（FCC）以其编辑决策和嘉宾邀请为由对其节目进行了威胁1。
金梅尔在表态中声称："现在他是总统，他的FCC威胁了我、威胁了我们的节目、威胁了我们的网络ABC、我们的附属公司、我们的本地电台，基于简单的、传统的编辑决策、他们似乎不喜欢的嘉宾预订"1。对此，白宫发言人戴维斯·英格尔否认了这一指控，声明称"FCC主席布伦丹·卡尔没有威胁他采访詹姆斯·塔拉里科或任何其他候选人"1。卡尔是特朗普的任命者1。
这一事件发生在2024年11月德克萨斯州参议院选举前夕，共和党人肯·佩克斯顿将对阵民主党人塔拉里科1。此前，金梅尔与FCC和特朗普政府的关系已多次陷入紧张。2024年9月，卡尔威胁对ABC采取行动数小时后，金梅尔因评论保守派活动人士查理·柯克遭枪击的言论而被临时停播1。2024年4月，特朗普和第一夫人梅拉尼娅·特朗普曾敦促ABC惩罚金梅尔所作的关于她的玩笑1。晚间脱口秀主持人斯蒂芬·科尔伯特在2024年2月也指控CBS因害怕FCC报复而拒绝播放他与塔拉里科的采访1。
Late-night television host Jimmy Kimmel announced that his interview with Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico will be released on YouTube rather than broadcast on TV.1 Kimmel claimed that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) under the Trump administration has threatened his show, citing editorial decisions and guest bookings as justification.1 In his statement, Kimmel said: "Now he's president, his FCC threatened me, threatened our show, threatened our network ABC, our affiliates, our local stations, based on simple, traditional editorial decisions, guests they apparently don't like booking."1
The White House disputed these allegations, with spokesperson Davis Ingles stating: "FCC Chairman Brendan Carr has not threatened him about interviewing James Talarico or any other candidate."1 FCC Chairman Brendan Carr is a Trump appointee.1 Talarico is facing Republican Ken Paxton in the 2024 Texas Senate election.1
This dispute reflects a broader pattern of tension between the network and the administration. In September 2024, Carr threatened action against ABC, after which Kimmel was temporarily taken off the air for comments he made about conservative activist Charlie Kirk being shot.1 Earlier incidents include Trump and First Lady Melania Trump urging ABC in April 2024 to punish Kimmel for jokes about her, and late-night host Stephen Colbert accusing CBS in February 2024 of refusing to air his interview with Talarico out of fear of FCC retaliation.1
