Robert De Niro made a surprise appearance on the "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" show on Wednesday, portraying FCC Chairman Brendan Carr in a late-night segment. The appearance came during Kimmel's monologue about his year-long feud with the FCC. Kimmel had mentioned their previous episode occurring during the FCC's "Brooklyn Week" and that despite his efforts, things hadn't improved much.
Carr, as played by De Niro, confronted Kimmel, repeatedly poking him with a baseball bat and questioning his threats. Though Kimmel did admit to some insults in his routine, he stood his ground, asserting the equal time rule. The interaction ended with Kimmel agreeing to "go easier on Eric," referring to Kimmel's son, in exchange for De Niro's Carr promising to back off his criticism of Kimmel.
