Chris Rock wasn’t hurt by Jimmy Fallon’s use of blackface while impersonating him on “Saturday Night Live” 20 years ago.
“Hey, man, I’m friends with Jimmy. Jimmy’s a great guy. And he didn’t mean anything,” Rock, 55, recently told the New York Times.
The “Everybody Hates Chris” star added that he believes Fallon’s performance — which went viral after resurfacing online over the summer — wasn’t meant to be malicious. “A lot of people want to say intention doesn’t matter, but it does,” Rock said, adding, “And I don’t think Jimmy Fallon intended to hurt me.

he is only 5 11 but one bad ass dude loved the 85 86 Bear season
At least you didn’t say Shaquille O’Neal...
I liked to watch him play when he was at Baylor U. in Waco.
Good guy.
Wouldn’t fit in with today’s NFL.
Also liked Dat Nguyen. Vietnamese kid that made it through Texas A&M and then went on to play for the cowgirls.
Probably the only Vietnamese NFL player.
Again wouldn’t fit in with today’s NFL.
When head coach Bill Parcells arrived in 2003, he was critical of the linebackers in the Cowboys roster, joking publicly: “If this were the circus, we could fit them all into one of those Volkswagens that 10 clowns climb out of.” The next season, he would pay Nguyen a compliment when he said: “He’s a football playing dude, that guy. ... You bet he could have played for any of my teams”.
Watch Chris Rock's "Good Hair" documentary.
This Sunday the very unfunny Kimmel is hosting the Emmys. This fake news story is an attempt to bring Kimmel back.
It can be used whenever they want so it keeps you in line. It is like naked pictures.
Well I can’t not watch it because of Kimmel. I’ve never watched an Emmy award.
Nice try Chris el but by the new rules he’s guilty. Don’t you know there is no forgiveness in Islam?
Islam is merciful compared to leftism.
And yet everyone from prior generations did mean harm?
Feh.
Has Chrisrocktober defending the Virginia governor’s turn at blackface? OR Trudeau’s?
Its not racism when we do it.
