FCC regulator claims Harris appearance on SNL violates ‘equal time’ rule

But a spokesperson says ‘the FCC has not made any determination regarding political programming rules’

A US government communications regulator has claimed that Vice-President Kamala Harris’s surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live violates “equal time” rules that govern political programming.

Brendan Carr, a commissioner with the federal communications commission (FCC), claimed on the social platform X that Harris’s appearance on the show “is a clear and blatant effort to evade the FCC’s Equal Time rule”.
