"Yesterday, there was a new announcement from FCC chair and disappointed testicle Brendan Carr. The New York Times described the announcement this way:. FCC targets Colbert and Kimmel in a new crackdown on late night TV.. What? What? A new crackdown on late night TV? That has enormous implications for me for four more months! Good luck, Jimmy! So, see ya! Mwah! See ya, suckers!"
"The FCC is announcing plans to enforce long dormant rules on appearances by political candidates on network talk shows.. Oh no! They've awakened the long dormant rules! Not seen since the mind-bending horrors of the pre-Euclidean variety show Cthulhu Tonight. This is clearly an attempt to silence me, Jimmy, and Seth, and I've got to say one thing to the FCC. Hey! I'm flattered you think that appearing on my show has the power to affect politics in any way."
Brendan Carr, chair of the FCC, announced plans to enforce long-dormant rules restricting appearances by political candidates on network talk shows. The enforcement appears aimed at late-night programs frequently targeted by President Donald Trump. A late-night comedian taunted Carr, using crude mockery and satirical hyperbole to dismiss the crackdown and question claims that talk-show appearances significantly influence elections. The comedian referenced an earlier coercive effort to force an apology from another host and framed the enforcement as an attempt to silence late-night commentary. The segment combined satire, defiance, and warnings about political consequences.
