Under Trump, the FCC's taken aim at not only late-night shows to tackle perceived bias against conservatives.
Your question, what daytime show did the FCC just confirm it's investigating?
The answer?
The View, hosted by Whoopi Goldberg, among others.
It is under investigation for interviewing the same Texas lawmaker, James Tallarico, that Colbert said he couldn't broadcast.
The administration's crackdown seems to have actually been good for Tallarico.
Colbert put the segment up on YouTube instead, where it's gotten way more views than it ever would have on The Late Show.
And Tallarico's campaign said he raised over $2.5 million in the 24 hours after it was posted.
Okay, last question.
Thunder here on the final lap.
What a finish!
That is really impressive.
The Olympics will wrap up this Sunday with the closing ceremony, so we are here with one last Olympics question for you.
Some of the competitions at the Games don't actually have that many countries in the mix.
Women's hockey, for example, only had 10 teams vying for the medals.
But some events are more egalitarian.
The answer?
Cross-country skiing, with nearly 300 athletes from 65 different nations.
Some of them, like the skiers from Nigeria, Venezuela, and Colombia, are actually the only athlete representing their whole country at the Games.
That is it for this week's News Quiz.
