To do so, he enlisted DeNiro infamous for his scathing rants against Trump to portray a nameless replacement for Carr with a familiar gangland vibe:"
"JIMMY KIMMEL: We are in the middle, and in a lot of ways, still are in the middle of an unprecedented fix. After almost 23 years on the air, we're suddenly not being broadcast in 20% of the country, which is not a situation we relish.

The sketch featured Kimmel introducing the supposed chairman and De Niro delivering threatening, mob-influenced lines and comic confusion about his identity.
