Brendan Carr, the Trump-appointed chairman of the FCC, agreed to appear before the Senate Commerce Committee to testify about the events that led to ABC’s temporary suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel.
No date has been set for Carr’s appearance yet, a spokesperson for the Senate Commerce Committee told Variety.
Carr celebrated the news about ABC’s suspension of Kimmel, sending a CNN reporter a GIF of “The Office’s” Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute making “raise the roof” gestures.
Sinclair and Nexstar announced Sept. 26 that they were ending their preemption of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and would immediately begin airing the show on their ABC affiliates.
