Why you may ask? An SNL skit he did 20 years ago in blackface playing Chris Rock.
I’ve yet to hear an apology from Al Jolson for The Jazz Singer. But seriously, this is becoming a bit much.

He will be fine. Kimmel did black face too. Hell Downey got nominated for an Oscar for it. I don't think it could be done now, not today, but today is very different from how things were even just 10 years ago.

It's shocking to think of how society has changed for the worse in just a short amount of time.

They should cancel him for not being funny.

They should cancel him for not being funny. None of the late night hosts are funny. Only Carson and Leno were. |

I hate these people who search every nook and cranny in order to be offended.
I understand that apologizing is the easiest way out of the situation for these personalities but I wish more of them would just say 'oh come on, f-ck off!'

Yep, we need a new generation of Lenny Bruces. We only have Dave Chappelle, Ricky Gervais, and a few other brave comedians these days.

I thought that skit was already public knowledge?

I thought that skit was already public knowledge? It was, but that doesen’t stop SJW’s from getting offended over something that happened years ago.The Wayans did something similar in White Chicks and I actually found it funny. As long as it’s not insulting I have no problem with it. |

That same skit circulated around the time of Megyn Kelly's "blackface" controversy, but Jimmy Fallon stayed on the payroll. Pushing this again to the forefront isn't going to change anything.
