Another late-night talk show has pre-empted an interview with Texas state Rep. James Talarico: This time, it’s ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”

On Wednesday’s episode of “JKL,” Kimmel revealed that his interview with Talarico, who’s running for Senate as the Texas Democratic candidate, won’t be aired on the show’s over-the-air broadcast. Instead, it will be shown on YouTube.
