Stephen Colbert is nearing the end of his tenure as host of The Late Show on CBS. On a recent Monday, he openly defied network superiors and criticized the FCC over a restricted interview.

Colbert believes this decision stems from a potential revival of the 'equal time' rule for political guests, a move he argues is politically motivated by FCC Chairman Brendan Carr.
