learn about a candidate for the Senate tomorrow, you will have to go to the Jimmy Kimmel Live! YouTube channel where you will see it in its entirety,  continued Kimmel.  And thank goodness we have that, because in the America we live in right now, that is the best that we can do until November, of course.

White House spokesperson Davis Ingle accused Kimmel of  play-acting  in order to  create a false narrative about this administration's policies.

He was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network's lawyers - who called us directly -- that we could not have him on the broadcast,  Colbert said at the time. CBS denied they prohibited the Late Show from broadcasting the interview.
