Fact check: Vance, rewriting last week’s history, claims FCC chair just made a ‘joke’ about Kimmel
Vice President JD Vance tried Wednesday to rewrite the history of what happened before ABC suspended late-night host Jimmy Kimmel last week, saying a commissioner on the Federal Communications Commission merely made “a joke on social media” on the subject of Kimmel.
A group of Democratic U.S. senators, including California's Adam Schiff, Wednesday demanded that Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr give them "all information on FCC communications" with ABC, Disney or "any of their affiliates" relating to the Jimmy Kimmel controversy.
Jimmy Kimmel, whose late night show is doing its seventh annual Brooklyn episodes next week, quipped in his monologue last night that the show has to “stay on the move so the FCC can’t get us.” He’ll be in good company: A starry line-up of guests has been announced.
Sen. Jon Husted said it was inappropriate for FCC Chairman Brendan Carr to make "intimidating" comments about Disney-owned ABC.
