Talk show host Jimmy Fallon has released an apology after a clip of him in blackface started trending on Twitter. The SNL skit from 2000, which shows the comedian doing an impression of Chris Rock, resurfaced again on the internet on Tuesday triggering the hashtag #jimmyfallonisoverparty to trend. Admitting his regrets over the sketch the 45-year-old Tonight Show host took to social media to apologize to those he may have offended. '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 wonder if Eddie Murphy will apologize for this skit?
I hope not.
But...no outrage at the time? Did folks laugh and chortle?
So, why the feigned outrage, now?
The left truly has no testicles.
Not too long ago Whoopi Goldberg did “white face” at the Academy Awards. There has yet to be any national agonizing over that.
Fallon was probably funny with that skit, and Chris Rock probably was not offended, but, Fallon has aligned himself with the Leftist thugs on his network, so to keep aligned with their hysterics, he must quit his show.
What he will probably do, instead, is shed copious tears of self-flagellation on his show, and to emphasize his complete repentance and righteousness, attack Trump.
Grovel, loser. Grovel before your false pc gods.
And then he will get to keep his show.
you’re right
He could have murdered someone, gone to jail, and been paroled by now.
It’s not like this wasn’t on You Tube or NBC for the world to see.
The fake outrage is funny.
Wonder if Eddie Murphy will apologize for this?
That was one of his funniest moments.
It's a bit like a 21st Century version of the French Revolution with the Far Left being canceled by the Even Further Left.
I'm just going to sit back here and watch the fire they started consume them. That, and get some some marshmallows.
Just say, “Hey, I was an employee of Lorne Michaels and SNL, and was assigned this part. Why no outrage against them?”
Two of the Wayans brothers appeared in
a film as undercover “White Chicks” in
whiteface. Also recurring sketches on
“In Living Color” had “The Brothers Brothers”
“The Brothers Brothers, both named Tom (after their uncle), are the most non-threatening African-American comedians. Like their namesakes the Smothers Brothers, their music and humor are as far away from ILC’s audience as they can get. The word generally used to define them is “Oreo,” meaning they’re black on the outside but white on the inside. Their sketches begin and/or end with them singing an harmonious ditty about the sketch’s subject.”—In Living Color Wiki
Humorous.

fun as the back cover shows them laughing
as makeup gets pulled off.
In grade school I played an elf in a school play. I apologize to any Freeper Elves who this may have deeply damaged!
This man is a total jerk, but apologizing for doing blackface 20 years ago is a double down in “jerkism.” one of my favorite memories is of my Dad was watching him doing blackface in a minstrel show 50 years ago. It was PURE FUN and had really nothing to do with race. It was all a spoof and The jokes were so silly you would laugh at the silliness. “Normal” blacks today would thoroughly enjoy a well-done minstrel show. Our political correctness continues to try and destroy our culture and our memories every day.
That being said, it is funny to see these high profile liberal/progressive/democrats, who have made racism into a political weapon to smear those who they disagree with, squirming and scrambling to deal with themselves being exposed for what they are.
How many of them have resigned? I have only seen liberals/democrats do this kind of dress-up. If a republican had done this, there would be calls for their resignation. SanFran Nan would have introduced a resolution in congress denouncing the racism. These people are quick to smear other people of racism, but by abusing racism as a politcal weapon, they are the worst racists.
I don’t care, Jimmy.
If Governor Blackface Klan Hat can do it and keep his job, so can you or anyone else.
