shows the “Tonight Show” host wearing blackface and impersonating fellow comedian Chris Rock while talking to TV host Regis Philbin, played by Darrell Hammond.
By Tuesday afternoon, Fallon apologized for his offense on Twitter. Rock has not yet responded on social media. “In 2000, while on SNL, I made a terrible decision to do an impersonation of Chris Rock while in blackface,” Fallon wrote. “There is no excuse for this. I am very sorry for making this unquestionably offensive decision and thank all of you for holding me accountable.”In 2000, while on SNL, I made a terrible decision to do an impersonation of Chris Rock while in blackface. There is no excuse for this.
I am very sorry for making this unquestionably offensive decision and thank all of you for holding me accountable.
Since CancelCulture goes way back...are you, calling for jimmyfallon to be fired?
No one watches it anymore anyway.., if they do they’re idiots!
BillyCrystal must be like
So what?
It's funny, let's stop being sanctimonious twits.
Omg just stop apologizing for things you dont need to apologize for. It wasn't done to offend anyone. It was what it was. Movie called white chicks, Where blacks dressed as whites and rang out every white girl stereotype that there is. It wasn't offensive. Get over it
Making excuses for him because he’s a lib.
Vanilla Ice did it better.
WHAT ABOUT KIMMELL!!!!!
Coward
Have we not got anything more important to talk about? Really? Seriously? Well what about the resurgence of ISIS? What about the Chinese Communists destroying Hong Kong? What about the improvement of air quality worldwide due to the lockdown? And you want to talk about this?
Shouldn’t that be “Lorne Michaels blasted”?
You must feel so proud for creating that outrage.
But he's a Democrat, unlike Roseanne Barr.
NilesGApol Why is Trump, the most racist threatening person in our country safe on Twitter?
Breaking OLD news! 🤤
For fuck sake....really...it was comedy. It was 20 years ago. Move the fuck on.
Leave jimmyfallon alone he’s the fucken nicest person ever. It’s a comedy sketch. That’s what SNL does
It was fallon? Here I was thinking kimmel all day. Now this is funny - he has the good boy image lmao. I personally dgas but hey - Black twitter aint nothin to fuck with
You have to see the context here. It was 20 years ago, before you became a society of pussys
Western societies will extinct of degeneration. This is ridiculous.
And don't forget that Eddie Murphy wore white face as an old jewish man in 'Coming to America'
Here's the skit itself:
Not defending Fallon or Kimmel at all but remember this: Eddie Murphy wore 'white face' for a SNL skit
Cancel everything!
Did people just discover this or were all other lockdown activities exhausted?
Your boy Jimmy Kimmel is guilty as well.
I get it but ppl really shouldn’t have to apologize for doing this years ago, before it was widely shunned. I’m not saying it was ever appropriate. But let’s work on people who are still doing this now. Flying Rebel flags, confederate bumper stickers, not 20 years ago. Today.
everybody ask yourself who benefits from all this racial incitement and you will be fascinated by the answer
Never apologize for this PC stuff. It's the only way not to get canceled. Trump never apologizes and we've basically made him a king because of it.
Leave Jimmy Alone.. Hes done no wrong.. a funny joke 20 years ago. Doesnt have to be funny today, to suit some dumb entitled whinners.
It's cool. He has a lot of black friends
Explains why he loves Trump.
As he should be
Who blasted him?
