The Federal Communications Commission says it has received a number of complaints about a monologue given by CBS’ “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert in which he made some crude jokes about President Trump.

During an interview Thursday on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai said he had a chance to view the clip and has received “a number of” complaints about it. He said his independent agency will look into the matter.
