FCC Targets Late Night, AGAIN! - LateNight



Jimmy Kimmel breaks down the FCC’s newly announced plan to enforce the long-dormant “equal time” rule — explaining why it’s existed since the 1950s, why it’s never been applied to news channels, podcasts, or talk shows, and how the bona fide news exemption has protected late-night comedy for decades.

Then, Stephen Colbert closes the segment with one very pointed word for the FCC chair.
