Kimmel is not directly answerable, but the network and the affiliates that
carry the content are.

From the FCC website:

"The FCC does impose certain restraints and obligations on broadcasters. Speech
regulations are confined to specific topics, which usually have been identified
by Congress through legislation or adopted by the FCC through full
notice-and-comment rulemaking or adjudicatory proceedings. These topics
include:  indecency, obscenity, sponsorship identification, conduct of on-air
contests, hoaxes, commercial content in children's TV programming, broadcast
news distortion, accessibility to emergency information on television, and
inappropriate use of Emergency Alert System warning tones for entertainment or
other non-emergency purposes."

From past news stories, I do know that the FCC does levy fines against
broadcasters for at least the first two topics listed.
