Jimmy Kimmel Moves James Talarico Interview to YouTube Following FCC Pressure

Jimmy Kimmel shifted his interview with Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico from ABC television to YouTube on Thursday night, citing concerns that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) would penalize the network’s local stations.

“What are they so scared of you?” Kimmel asked during the conversation. Talarico responded, “Well, they’re worried that we’re going to win this race in Texas. But we are the underdogs until the last vote is counted. We’re not just going up against the most corrupt politician in Texas. We’re going up against this entire corrupt system.”
