CBS is denying an accusation from Stephen Colbert, the network’s top comic and host of “The Late Show,” that it prevented him from airing an interview with Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico.

Colbert during his Monday show told viewers that attorneys for CBS told him “in no uncertain terms” that “we could not have him on the broadcast,” referring to Talarico, a member of the Texas House.


“Not only could I not have him on, I could not mention me not having him on,” the host continued. “And because my network clearly does not want us to talk about this, let’s talk about this.”

CBS in a statement to The Hill denied Colbert’s account.

“The Late Show was not prohibited by CBS from broadcasting the interview with Rep. James Talarico,” a spokesperson for the network said. “The show was provided legal guidance that the broadcast could trigger the FCC equal-time rule for two other candidates, including Rep. Jasmine Crockett, and presented options for how the equal time for other candidates could be fulfilled.”


It was “The Late Show” itself, CBS said, that “decided to present the interview through its YouTube channel with on-air promotion on the broadcast rather than potentially providing the equal-time options.”

The Hill reached out to “The Late Show” for comment.

The back-and-forth comes as President Trump’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chair, Brendan Carr, has floated doing away with a department rule that exempts daytime and late-night talk shows from the FCC’s equal-time protection, which dictates all candidates for public office receive equal time on public airwaves.


Colbert, during his monologue, tore into Carr, mocking his appearance and arguing he is motivated by a desire to please Trump.

“Let’s just call this what it is: Donald Trump’s administration wants to silence anyone who says anything bad about Trump on TV, because all Trump does is watch TV,” the host said.

FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez, a Democrat, also blasted Paramount, CBS’s parent company, over the dispute, saying it amounted to political censorship.

Paramount has made headlines with sweeping changes to its news division in recent months and last year canceled Colbert’s show, which is slated to come off the air this spring.

The broadcaster at the time said Colbert’s cancellation was necessary given rising financial pressures facing the company.

Critics accused the company of seeking favor with Trump as it sought the administration’s approval for a merger with Skydance. And on Tuesday, Paramount renewed talks with Warner Bros. Discovery to acquire its entertainment and news assets.

No reason why he shouldn't have retired a Brown.

Browns is the Browns.

Writing was on the wall for awhile now.....

Thanks for the memories (I'm sincere this time around)! And best wishes.

Since his passing many in the movie business have come forward and given tributes.

I have seen him interviewed many times. The one role that was hard on him was The Great Santini.

He came from a strict military father and the role haunted him. He was so good as the character Bull Meechum.

He loved "Tango" the dance and married a gal who is a terrific tango dancer. He wrote and directed the movie Assassination Tango and it was during the filming he met his future wife.

He said it took him ten days to read Lonesome Dove and 16 weeks to film it. And that was the best time in his life and his favorite role.

He will always remain in my eyes as the character Augustus McCrae.

I remember when people were lauding this contract (comparing it to when Watson's was restructured) saying it would never be restructured. Lol.

As a hobby, it's really become very approachable on any budget. So user friendly now too. My dinosaur literally takes 10 minutes of trial, error and fumbling with thumbscrews just to level the print bed. The Bambu I posted above self-levels before every print in a second or two. Granted, that's not something I have to do often, but a big PIA when I do.

Also, most newer print beds have flexible, removable covers that allow you to "coax" your prints off much easier. Mine requires fresh Kapton tape every 50-75 prints. Getting that on with no bubbles is rocket surgery... imagine sticking your hands in a small box to put an adhesive sheet on a 10x10 print bed that cannot have a single bubble when you're done. You think cellphone protectors are bad?! Plus, I have to gently chisel my prints off; one small gash in the tape and back to some rocket surgery. That will summon swear words you didn't know you had in your vocabulary.

If you're still on the fence for a while, there are some killer deals on Amazon for Prime Day and Black Friday/ Cyber Monday. I'll probably hold out until then before I buy mine.

Yeah, that's exactly what I posted directly above your post.

Pardon Power is in the constitution. It would take a constitutional amendment. Non starter. Dead in water. Not gonna happen.

I've never tried it yet. Maybe I'll be bidding against you on one of these.

Even on Amazon, though, that upgrade is only $100 more.

I think that would heavily depend on what your definition of "stole" is. It certainly wouldn't fit the definition of the word.

To be fair, 2/3 of his assertions are at least debatable (the DNC primaries he mentions).

Yet no problem for right wing talk radio? How could they make things any more obvious than that?

I have a very old FlashForge that has had virtually zero downtime in 13.5 years.

I'm probably going to add another to the shop this year. I think Bambu is about the best in the biz now. A little pricey, but I've seen these in action and they are pretty amazing.

BTW, have you ever bid at Mac.bid? Amazing how much stuff goes through those doors that is virtually brand new.

What other choice do we have? But the reality of the situation as I see it is this.

It's the same movie we've been watching since 1999 only the cast of the movie has changed every time it has been re-released. At least in the last remake we had a great DC. This time it's an entire cast of unknowns that have never played these types of roles before.

We hope for the best. But as they say, when all else is gone hope still remains. When that's all you have left it's the only thing that remains to hold onto.

RIP Jesse Jackson. I wanted to post about him yesterday but this thread is in the Everything Else forum. It's virtually impossible to talk about his life and legacy without it being centered around religion, civil rights and politics. None of which topics are to be discussed in this forum. Other than his family, those three things were the centerpieces oh his life.

I LOVED that movie! My oldest grandson was about 11 years old then. I watched it with him and he loved it so much I bought him the movie.

In actuality it will most likely never happen. Actually highly unlikely to ever happen. I'm certainly no constitutional expert, but from my understanding it would take an amendment to the constitution in order to change this.

To amend the constitution requires a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate (or a convention called by two-thirds of state legislatures) to propose, followed by ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures.

We can't get both parties to agree what color the sky is on any given day.

So let me see if I have this right. So now you're saying people should have a photo ID AND their birth certificate to vote? Based on what criteria? Should you and I have to show both a photo ID and a birth certificate to vote or is a photo ID alone enough?

Above you skipped actually holding a discussion on this topic so I'll ask you again, what do you think about this?


Anything? Anything at all?

Nobody is supposed to talk about history that happened so long ago. No more talk about the constitution. No more talk about the Declaration of Independence. No more talk about the founding fathers. No more talk about the revolutionary war. I'm pretty sure they still want to talk about those things. It would almost seem they're being selective about the things they do and don't want to talk about from long ago based on "their feelings" which dictate that part of our history has "long been dead".

Every coach has to start somewhere. KS never had a HC job and at least got us to the playoffs twice. Our new coaches have come from winning organizations so that's a positive. We already have talent on D which is a plus. No matter whom our new coaches are they can't win without good players, so we need an infusion of talent on the rest of the team. That's up to AB now. Let's give our new staff some time to see what they can do.

Its an antiquated system/process that needs to end for all Presidents in the future. Period.
