Harris's SNL Cameo Sparks FCC Rule Debate

News summary

Kamala Harris's appearance on Saturday Night Live (SNL) shortly before the election has sparked controversy over potential violations of the FCC's Equal Time rule, which mandates that broadcasters provide equal airtime to all qualified candidates. FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr criticized the cameo as partisan, noting the lack of comparable opportunities for Republican candidate Donald Trump. While the FCC has not received formal complaints, Carr's comments do not reflect the agency's official stance. Harris participated in a comedic skit with Maya Rudolph, drawing parallels to a similar appearance by Trump on The Tonight Show in 2015. Meanwhile, Harris continues her campaign with high-profile rallies involving celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Lady Gaga in key swing states.
