The campaigns of John Kasich and Lindsey Graham have filed requests for equal time under the Federal Communication Act with NBC and its affiliates following Donald Trump’s hosting of Saturday Night Live on Nov. 7th. The campaign of GOP candidate, George Pataki, said on Friday that their campaign will also request an additional 12 minutes and five seconds of air time, which equates to Trump’s appearance on SNL. If additional air time is given to the candidates, they will not necessarily appear on SNL.
