Jimmy Kimmel
Role
American late-night television host whose show became a focus of FCC pressure on broadcasters
Background
Jimmy Kimmel is an American television host and comedian who has hosted the late-night program Jimmy Kimmel Live! since 2003. In 2025, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr publicly pressured broadcasters over Kimmel’s program, and after two station groups with pending mergers said they would drop it, the network suspended the show, an episode critics described as government coercion of protected speech.
