Jimmy Fallon comes under fire as blackface SNL sketch from 20 years ago resurfaces and outraged Twitter users call for his show to be cancelled

Twitter users are calling for Jimmy Fallon to be 'cancelled' after a Chris Rock impression he did in 2000 resurfaced showing him wearing dark makeup.

It's the second time the clip has emerged in recent years and has reignited the debate on blackface and cancel culture.

Most recently it surfaced when Megyn Kelly was let go from The Today Show in 2018 after she defended blackface Halloween costumes.

It is entertaining to see Democrats go through their little boomerang problems. Fallon isn’t running for office, so he might be an easy sacrifice for the cause.

But I must admit I have a nice big case of Schadenfreude whenever I see any lefty hoisted on their petard.

Since those Virginia office holders are all good Democrats, they were allowed to let the storms blow over with no repercussions to them.

We all have to remember, that the standards Democrats set for Republicans and others, do not apply to themselves.

We can all think of examples. A recent one being the lack of a liberal and media meltdown over the Tara Reade allegations against Biden. If the liberals and media had reacted the same way as they did in the Kavanaugh situation, there would be demands for police investigations, congressional hearings, denouncement of Biden as some serial rapist, and leading Democrats saying that Biden is unfit for the high office he seeks.

Nothing will happen to him. He teamed up with a thin witch whose name I don’t remember to trash Sarah Palin a few years. To the left, he is a god.

Haven’t these twitts seen the photo of the current Democrat Virginia Governor’s yearbook? Why do they give him a pass? And the Lt. VA Gov? And...?

The Demon-crats were originally going to toss both of them, but then realized a Republican would succeed to the governorship and suddenly all was forgiven.

Whoopi fired from the spew view because she loved ted’s blackface speech where it appears he’s imitating either Hitler or Mussolini

I’m torn on this one. As much as I would love to see Fallon go down hard, it would be just as pleasing to see constitutionalists (whom he hates) come to his defense.

Nah, take him out!

This whole blackface thing is so stupid. Dress up as a witch, paint your face green, dress up as a skeleton, paint your face white. Dress up as a black, paint black.

They NEVER SHUT UP.

Is he the one that playfully ruffled Trump’s hair.

If so, you have your reason.

Only thing I like what he did was this;

Jimmy Fallon “Band of Brothers”

Good reply...and most likely quite accurate.

It would appear Fallon is doing a spoof on Ted Danson whom was Woopies boyfriend at the time of a Blackface routine....see below

“The “Cheers” star appeared at a N.Y. Friars Club Roast in 1993 with then-girlfriend Whoopi Goldberg wearing blackface makeup to perform an offensive N-word-filled comedy routine.
