The National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) filed a formal complaint with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on April 28, 2026, regarding a monologue aired on ABC's 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' The complaint alleges that the monologue contained indecent material, violating FCC regulations.
The NRB, a trade association representing Christian broadcasters, argued that the content aired during a time when children could be watching. The specific monologue, which aired on April 25, 2026, reportedly included language and themes the NRB deemed inappropriate for broadcast television.
As of April 29, 2026, the FCC has not publicly responded to the complaint. ABC and Jimmy Kimmel's representatives have not issued statements. The complaint is part of ongoing debates over broadcast decency standards in the United States.
