FCC commissioner claims Harris on ‘SNL’ violates ‘equal time’ ruleA 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.
The executive producer of “SNL,” Lorne Michaels, had said in a past interview that neither Harris nor Trump would make appearances on his show during this election cycle.
“You can’t bring the actual people who are running on because of election laws and the equal time provisions,” he said to The Hollywood Reporter two months ago. “You can’t have the main candidates without having all the candidates, and there are lots of minor candidates that are only on the ballot in, like, three states and that becomes really complicated.”
The Hill has reached out to NBC, the FCC and the Harris campaign for comment.

the telling thing isnt nbc breaking some "equal time" thing, its that Sidepiece thought remaking a Trump skit on snl was a better use of time than a rally in Detroit MI, a supposed swing state.

I bet it was the twenty something year old feminazi cat ladies on her staff that put her up to it. If she was smart, she should be in the swing states like Trump. Then again, we know she's not smart. |

NBC had to give Trump free advertisement because the let Kamala make her stupid, unfunny appearance on SNL. What about Robert Kennedy Jr? Doesn't he get some free time as well? After all, he's still on many of the ballots. In hindsight, the only thing Kamala's appearance on SNL accomplished was showing how unserious and unfunny she is. But fair is fair and ALL candidates should get the extra free advertising. |

Somehow I just can't see that making up for what NBC and Harris did but hey, if he's happy with it, who am I to complain? No, but it's better than nothing happening. I think the only reason that NBC responded so quickly were (1) Loren Michaels said earlier this year that SNL couldn't have either candidate on their show because of the law, and then they did it anyway, and (2) NBC is worried about Trump winning and that an FCC under Trump won't ignore their law violation. After all, Trump is talking of taking CBS News' license. |
