"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.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the entertainer Kid Rock collaborated for a “Make America Healthy” video posted to X on Tuesday. Stephen Colbert called the 90-second clip reel of the two working out “an unexpected offering” and “pure cinema” on Wednesday’s “Late Night.”
Colbert said his team "can't find one example" of the "equal time rule" for political talk show interviews being enforced in the past, after his Rep. James Talarico interview was relegated to YouTube.
After CBS blocked Stephen Colbert from airing his James Talarico interview, the video has hit more than 7 million YouTube views.
