1. A cable/satellite network. No worries for the network on how to give "equal time"...

... to other candidates as NBC needed to do with various candidate's SNL appearances.


Which reminds me of something I've wondered about. When a candidate appears on a show like Leno or Letterman, is the network required to GIVE "equal time" or is it enough to merely OFFER other candidates an opportunity to also appear? (In other words, could a candidate refuse to be on the show, and instead demand that a 5-minute ad be broadcast instead?)



(Yes, I know that Leno and Letterman have retired.)

2. Seems yes and not...

3. Thanks! I did not know that chat shows were exempt.

"The law ex­empts news pro­grams, which the FCC has broadly in­ter­preted to in­clude talk shows like The To­night Show."

4. I came across this yesterday on Entertainment Weekly's Facebook and the majority of comments

were from self-described Sanders supporters saying they'll never watch the show again. I shook my head and rolled my eyes, but didn't bother to respond.

5. SNL should do a Hillary matchup between

Amy and Kate McKinnon
