In a plot twist as subtle as a dancing unicorn at a climate summit, a late-night talk show host spilled the tea about his love-hate tango with ABC—yes, the whole mega-corporate media whale—and casually cast Robert De Niro to play FCC chair Brendan Carr. Imagine De Niro mumbling 'Are you talkin' to me?' at a federal regulator! The talk show tycoon, whose name escaped the article but not our attention, managed to blend corporate drama with Hollywood star power in one slick move that screams diversity of thought and woke capitalism. The FCC has never looked this glamorous or confusing, and ABC is probably refreshing their email inbox like it’s 1999.
