Come to think of it, Benny Hill did some TV minstrel sketchs into the 1980s, and these shows are still being broadcast today.

I’ll have to take your word for it. I’m not as young as I’d like to be, and lived in different parts of the US as well as overseas during that period, and don’t remember attending or hearing of a minstrel show.

Benny Hill was a show from England, not the US.

Archie Bunker did a blackface sketch in the 70s. But he was lambasted for it by Mike.
