vet said he was sorry after the clip resurfaced and he was criticized for the moment across Twitter. , I made a terrible decision to do an impersonation of Chris Rock while in blackface. There is no excuse for this," Fallonin a tweet. "I am very sorry for making this unquestionably offensive decision and thank all of you for holding me accountable."
The sketch in question featured Fallon in blackface impersonating Chris Rock on Regis Philbin’s late-night show. Fallon has done his Rock impression a number of times over the years, such as on Howard Stern's radio show.
remember when Robert Downey Jr played a black man in Tropic Thunder? Was he cancelled? No, he got an oscar nomination. I think if Chris Rock said he wasn't offended by it, can you let it go.
So freaking what. Police is killing random people with dark skin and this is the thing that needs accounting for? 🤦
Only annoyed that any anger was directed at him. That wasn't some personal bit. There's a team of writers, production staff, Lorne Michaels, etc.
What took so long and why has NBC said nothing? Megyn Kelly got fired by the same network for much less. ABC also employs a late night host that did a black face routine. Imagine if either of them had a conservative slant, they would have been gone no questions asked.
If you haven’t done something imperfect in your career, you haven’t had a career. Get over it, people.
So when does Downey Jr. apologize for Tropic Thunder? Stupid.

You know how serious it is when nobody mentioned it for 20 years because nobody cared.
Over sensitive, Twitter finger complainers!
Ass kisser
It's easy to maintain the courage of one's convictions when others are solely responsible. Now, try some fake laughing and slam your palm on your desk a few times. That schtick never tires.
It’s sketch comedy show.. it wasn’t like he was going it to mock someone... he literally was impersonating another person..... god! Relax!
This dude is one the worst late night host ever! I’m still waiting for him to apologize for normalizing trump!
Has anyone seen a movie called white chicks.
Does anybody remember a movie called soulman a white actor playing black😖

People grow up , evolve and learn from their mistakes, it’s what makes us humans and better people .
How about just let it go. It’s over. Who cares.
Cancelled

This is ridiculous! Everyone knows jimmyfallon is the least racist person out there...plus this sketch was approved by Chris Rock himself. Why does he need to apologize?
Am I suprise we live in a society where blacks have to learn about racism at the ages of 5+ while whites have to mature first to understand what was wrong blackAF BlackExcellence jimmyfallonisoverparty
I made a lot of mistakes too... 20 years ago.
Is not still updating on his youtube channel this is why?
Black face is not the problem dying because of black face is
I wonder if Chris Rock complained or it was someone who has nothing to do that dug up something from 20 years ago...
YEA, B CAYRE FEWL MANN, AFRYKUN UMARYKUN’Z DUNT NOO OW 2 UCCEPT ITT! 😎🧒🏿👊🏿
Don’t apologize.
Shit was 20 years ago. Give it a rest.
SERIOUSLY? 20 YEARS AGO! GET REAL!
Cancel him.
He should apologize for not being funny
Funny:not. I wonder if Chris rock was offended or if humor is humor whether dark, clean or what have you. Help white people plz. BF is not ok. And back then it wasn't ok but it was still humor. if he did Eddie Murphy Beside of Chris not for being black but 4 ditchin SNL 4 years.
Fam i couldn’t careless
Why does Howard Sterns endless blackface moments get ignored?
He had to apologise for a twenty year old sketch? Twenty Years? Two decades?!!!!?
You know, millions of us never did blackface. It wouldn’t have occurred to us. It’s repulsive to us. However, Canada just re-elected a man who did it and no one seems to care but a small handful of us. And so it goes.
Stop it! These comedians are funny, who is digging up all this old shyt it was funny then it's not offensive to me. I'm Black enough for all yall! Leave the Comedy alone. WE ALL NEED TO LAUGH! STOP trying to DIVIDE US with BS!!!!!!
