Stephen Colbert rips CBS for pulling interview with Trump critic James Talarico over regulatory concerns: 'FCC you'

"The Late Show" host Stephen Colbert slammed his soon-to-be-former network CBS for pulling an interview with Democratic US Senate candidate James Talarico of Texas, a frequent critic of President Trump.

Colbert lambasted CBS after its lawyers advised "The Late Show" it could not air the Monday sitdown with the pol, one of many Dems running to unseat Republican Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas).

In a segment that did air Monday night, the host laid out the exchange with the lawyers, saying: "I was told, in some uncertain terms, that not only could I not have him on, I could not mention me not having him on."
