The late-night host also says waiting to say something about the impersonation "was a mistake."
Kimmel began doing his impression of Malone, then a player with the Utah Jazz, in the mid-'90s, and continued it on TV, where he wore blackface makeup and a bald cap. A sketch from Comedy Central'sKimmel's apology follows fellow late-night hostin 2000. Netflix has also pulled sketch series Little Britain over its use of blackface, and HBO Max temporarily shelved Gone With the Wind until it can add a disclaimer about the 1939 movie's depiction of Black characters and slavery.
You’re an outstanding individual jimmykimmel!
Why apologize? This is fucking ridiculous
This is totally a contrition act in an attempt to save his job. If he was conservative the left would have been screaming for his firing years ago. Hypocrisy at its best brought to you by the left...
ABCNetwork JimmyKimmelLive Boycott the show until he is fired.
I posted that picture multiple times on Twitter last year. Nothing happened.
Tired 😴
There would seem to be an inherent problem with preaching piously to other people. Everybody sins sometimes.
When did the passive voice become acceptable in “journalism”?
Progre que se burla de Trump desde que ganó, ahora es aplastado por otros progres.
He should be immediately fired, like therealroseanne and megynkelly or they should be given their jobs back.
Here's the actual skit ...
Funny how this guy is on tape in black face and on tape degrading women for years during his man show. Talk about DoubleStandards from the Dems.
Will he be fired?
I wouldn’t apologise at all for this... it’s fascinating to play a character that’s so unlike you. By the way, bring Roseanne back...
Karma wears a skirt JimmyKimmelLive . 👗 Cuz shes a bitch!
So is this another liberal who gets a pass?
Why does he get a pass?
this is funny though
yet he bashes other people that have apologized for this kind of behavior too
jimmykimmel Tool 🙄
He’s another sleaze bag. Bye
I image that the woke Hollywood crowd is sweating right now. Who knows what audio/video may come to light of a said individual not being woke regardless of when it happened.
CancelCulture is toxic. I am by no means a fan of Kimmel, but this is ridiculous. Young people are too sensitive. It was a comedy skit, there was no ill-will or malicious intent.
The snake tries to slither out of not coming out with his apology immediately. That shows you how sincere he is, haha!
cancelkimmel
He must go. jimmykimmel you’re done. You can’t do this and then just expect water under the bridge.
Fire him the same way they did to Roseanne Barr. Your double standards are showing, ABC!
jimmykimmel is a sellout. He was a regular guy years ago doing the Man Show. Then we he wanted acceptance in Hollywood and decided to change his tune. Can't get liberal guests without towing the line. Stop calling people racist or prejudice. Look in the mirror.
'..cheer for leaders who use prejudice to divide us...' So jimmykimmel tries to deflect to other people instead of taking responsibility. Nice try. You can't go around accusing people -ist, -ism, etc and have no argument as to why you are saying that. I should call you a racist.
He knew what he was doing
He should be fired from ABC. So sick of powerful men in society not being held accountable for their actions.
Fire him. Cancel him like Roseanne Barr. He’s no better.
He is and always was a piece of shit
