Robert De Niro made a surprise virtual appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! as the show returned from an “indefinite” hiatus after commenting on the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
The 82-year-old Oscar winner leaned into the iconic mobster persona he's become famous for playing during a sketch mocking the FCC.
De Niro exclaimed, "It's just me, Jimmy, the chairman of the FCC, gently suggesting that you gently shut the f*** up."
The edgy sketch marked Kimmel’s fiery return and no doubt the continued free speech debate dominating late night television in the United States.
