FCC Chair Brendan Carr called it a media "hoax" that his agency had anything to do with shutting down the airing of a Stephen Colbert interview on CBS.

"The Late Show" host Stephen Colbert criticized CBS on Monday night, saying the network blocked his interview with U.S. Senate hopeful James Talarico from airing.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett responded Tuesday to CBS allegedly pulling Stephen Colbert's interview with Texas Senate rival James Talarico over FCC equal time concerns.

Late-night host Stephen Colbert isn't backing down from his public dispute with CBS bosses over what he can air on his show.

MS NOW panelists on "Deadline: White House" were shocked by CBS calling Stephen Colbert a liar amid the FCC-James Talarico dust up. On Tuesday, "The Late Show" host revealed he wanted to have Talarico -- a Texas representative -- on the show until CBS' lawyers called him and said that wasn't happening and that he also couldn't tell his audience why.

Late-night has found itself in the center of another brouhaha involving the Federal Communications Commission.

Brendan Carr has said the equal-time rule is "about stopping legacy media from picking winners and losers in elections."
