  "summary": "Jimmy Kimmel has announced that an interview with Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico will not air on ABC. Kimmel stated that he will be conducting the interview under \"unusual circumstances\" and will instead post it on YouTube. According to Kimmel, the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, threatened his show and ABC, prompting the decision.\n\nThe FCC, under the Trump administration, has raised concerns about equal airtime for political candidates. Kimmel noted that he has interviewed candidates for office in election years for decades.\n\nKimmel's show, \"Jimmy Kimmel Live!\", is not facing cancellation, with ABC reportedly keen to keep the long-running late-night programme on air.",
