Jimmy Kimmel Live: Game Night aired a sketch with DeRozan which was filmed a year ago and was never used. So Before Game 2, they ended up finally airing it. DeMar was not happy.
His agent said the former Raptors player was actually quite upset with how the whole sketch was used.
Via The Athletic:
“We found out a few days ago, and we alerted them immediately that it’s not something that we wanted them to do nor did DeMar want it on,” Goodwin said. “We felt it was extremely insensitive to the fact that DeMar’s (former) team is playing in the Finals. They made it clear to us that it was funny to them, although it wasn’t funny enough for them to use a year ago when they shot it,” Goodwin explained. “We even asked them, ‘If you’re going to air this thing, put up a disclaimer that, for whatever reason, you’ve had this footage for over a year and you decided to use it now.’ And they refused to do that.”
The sketch aired without any disclaimer.
It was actually a pretty funny skit. In any year.
I was thinking to myself while watching it, why is DeMar DeRozan in this skit again?
DeRozan spent the first nine years of his career north of the border with the Raptors, but was traded last July to the Spurs as part of a package for Kawhi Leonard.
