Jimmy Kimmel’s show moves an interview with James Talarico from broadcast television to YouTube, according to Kimmel and coverage of the decision. The Oregonian reports that Kimmel says Federal Communications Commission (FCC) threats prompted the change, shifting the interview to an online platform.
The reports also note that the move is not unprecedented. Both outlets indicate this is part of a broader pattern in how the program handles interviews with Talarico, with the interview having previously been shifted away from broadcast TV to YouTube. HuffPost UK frames the action as a response to FCC pressure, while The Oregonian emphasizes Kimmel’s explanation that the threats made the broadcast arrangement untenable. The coverage does not describe the content of the interview in detail, but it focuses on the relocation and the stated regulatory pressure behind it.
Overall, the outlets agree on the key points: the interview is redirected from traditional broadcast to YouTube, and Kimmel attributes the decision to FCC threats, with prior similar platform shifts connected to Talarico interviews.
