In a move that signals increased scrutiny of late-night television, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr has announced plans to investigate ABC’s The View and popular NBC hosts Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon. This follows his recent efforts to pressure ABC into suspending Jimmy Kimmel over controversial content.

During a radio interview with Scott Jennings, who describes himself as “the last man standing athwart the liberal mob,” Carr was asked about potential violations of FCC rules by other entertainment programs. Jennings referenced President Trump’s past calls for NBC to cancel Fallon and Meyers, raising concerns about the tone and content of these shows.

Jennings pointed out that, beyond Kimmel, programs like The View might also be engaging in behavior that could breach FCC regulations. He questioned whether these shows are crossing lines similar to those Kimmel did recently, and whether their content might be even more problematic.

While specific details of the FCC’s investigations are yet to be disclosed, Carr’s comments suggest a broader push to scrutinize late-night hosts and daytime talk shows for content deemed inappropriate or potentially violating broadcasting standards. This development may signal a shift toward stricter regulation and oversight of entertainment programming amid ongoing debates over free speech and decency standards in media.
