It was definitely done as a nod to Pitt's role in Meet Joe Black, pretty funny, I got a good chuckle out of that, probably the best scene in the film IMHO.

… until you add it to the fact that his character’s name was Chad. I think that and the mockery of Dermot Mulroney (mispronounced by the morning show host) hint that the CB were taking a little revenge on Tom DiCillo.
