A Federal Communications Commission (FCC) commissioner has claimed that Vice President Harris’s recent appearance on “Saturday Night Live” violates the “equal time” rule.
“This is a clear and blatant effort to evade the FCC’s Equal Time rule,” Commissioner Brendan Carr posted on the social platform X Saturday in response to a post from The Associated Press about Harris being on the show that night.
“The purpose of the rule is to avoid exactly this type of biased and partisan conduct – a licensed broadcaster using the public airwaves to exert its influence for one candidate on the eve of an election. Unless the broadcaster offered Equal Time to other qualifying campaigns,” Carr, a Trump appointee, continued.
The FCC’s “equal time” rules let rival candidates ask for equal air time.
During her appearance on this week’s episode of “SNL” Harris joined comedian Maya Rudolph, who often impersonates her, for a cold open sketch. While Rudolph was playing the vice president, Harris began her “SNL” debut on the other side of a mirror from the comedian.
“I’m just here to remind you, you got this, because you can do something your opponent can’t do — you can open doors,” Harris told Rudolph, seemingly referring to a video from earlier in the week in which former President Trump had a hard time grabbing the handle of a garbage truck.

Time for somebody who may be interested to “investigate” her wide butt like they did Musk.
I don’t know anyone who watches that show. I don’t know anyone who can even stay up that late.
Since this is true, I honestly expected this to be a Babylon Bee article.
Fine. Give President Trump ten minutes of free time Monday evening.
Didn’t she say to Brett Baier over and over that she was going to follow the law?
I watched it. The impersonation of Trump did no harm to Trump thought that was the design. It was pretty lame. Kamalas appearance although an attempt to bolster her did her no favors. She came across as a cackling smiling idiot.
ps
I do not watch SNL but did this time because I wanted to see what it was with Kamala.
They don't have to.
SNL creates content for clicks.
They’ll claim his “staged” assassination used more time so she is owned more for Monday night.
Kamala Harris does this — FCC response: “Hey, you violated the law. Just thought you oughta know. Have a nice day.”
Trump does this — FCC response: “We have a NY judge lined up. You are guilty of a felony, and there is a $400M fine. Hope you learned a lesson. You bastard.”
This is a modified limited hangout by Deep State.
That's the real Kamala, and it's about the most chilling thing I've ever seen.
Spot on. Just play Kamalas own words. They should scare anyone who cares about freedom and justice.
Now we can shut down NBC and CBS.
“I don’t know anyone who watches that show.”
***********
SNL preaches to their own (liberal) choir.
IMHO, this is the FCC pretending, on the last weekend before the election so it doesn’t matter now, to be unbiased in their regulations.
*** I don’t know anyone who can even stay up that late.***
I stay up that late regularly, but I do not watch SNL. I watch college football in the fall, and movies or other shows the rest of the year.
Last night there was a terrific game between Texas A&M and South Carolina. A&M was ranked number 10, but feisty unranked Gamecocks took control of the game in the second half, and gave the Aggies a beat down. It was a fun game to watch even though I didn’t care about the outcome.
It was so exciting, it took me a while to settle down for sleep.
I got caught up in that game myself.
It made me remember why I love the college game so much! NIL and the transfer portal has taken a lot from the “loyalty to a team” factor.
