JewBelong cofounder Archie Gottesman accused Somo of censoring Jewish voices "at the very moment antisemitism is surging."

The Late Show was not prohibited by CBS from broadcasting the interview with Rep. James Talarico, the network said in a statement. The show was provided legal guidance that the broadcast could trigger the FCC equal-time rule for two other candidates, including Rep.

The Late Show decided to present the interview through its YouTube channel with on-air promotion on the broadcast rather than potentially providing the equal-time options.
