FCC chairman hilariously smacks down Brian Stelter after his ‘chilling’ warning
September 18, 2025 | Nicole Haas
Brian Stelter is not happy about the indefinite suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel and issued a warning to Americans on Wednesday night.
“This was very sudden this afternoon after [FCC Chairman Carr] spoke out on that far-right podcast,” Stelter began.
“Then, some stations that are owned by other companies but affiliated with ABC started to complain to ABC. We know one of them, Nexstar, which has about two dozen stations with the ABC logo and all the ABC programming. Nexstar publicly announced that they were going to drop Kimmel’s show indefinitely. Within a matter of minutes. We heard from Disney that the show was being pulled altogether.”
Stelter went on about the “chilling” development.
“But even though we’re talking about comedy, this is so serious. America is a less free place if late-night comedians cannot do and say what they want,” he said. “Of course, they can be tuned out. People can change the channel. That’s how we vote. That’s how we have our say in America. But this really does have a chilling effect across the American media.”
