L Williams - And he was a better Chris Rock than Chris himself.

@@MrDino1953 LOL, I fast-forwarded through this and missed the introduction for "Chris Rock". Initially, I thought, "Who is Chris Rock trying to impersonate. Sinbad?" Then when "Regis" is supposed to audition with Chris Rock, I realized, "No, it's Jimmy Fallon doing Chris Rock!" Hahaha!

Surprised SNL hasn't taken this down yet.

And it's great. I don't see why he felt the need to apologize.

How did that went unnoticed for years?

MDino: she talked and bragged about her kids incessantly, acted very superior. Insufferable woman.

@@vinnieviddivicci5459 In other words, she acted like a white woman.

@@notsure1277 - well, pretty much! 😆

R.I.P. Barbara Walters!

He also had no problem with Ricky Gervais using the N-word. Chris Rock is not an ambassador to black culture

@@rickG913 and the point of that comment is?

@@fran8926 Chris Rock cannot sanction blackface!!!!

@@rickG913 but he was doing blackface not to make fun of black people just Chris so 🤷‍♀️

@@fran8926 Im not arguing that Jimmy Fallon meant to mock black people in this sketch- he clearly didn’t know or understand the history of blackface. This is a case of ignorance not bigotry. But we have got to move past the notion that only malevolent racism is a problem- there’s no such thing as benevolent racism. Fallon’s blackface is inappropriate because it feeds into Hollywood’s longstanding practice of reducing black culture into a racist caricature.

Regardless the impression was pretty fly for a white guy

Yeah but just go with it...

@@conservativebutnotfortrump7863 u do know that was comedy, right?

@@conservativebutnotfortrump7863 comedy doesn't have to be right to be funny

@@conservativebutnotfortrump7863 you know chris rock approved it right?

@@conservativebutnotfortrump7863 chris rock said he talked to jimmy fallon about doing it and said he was ok with it because it was funny.

@@FancyNoodlez people getting offended by this while The real Chris Rock loved it 😂

I thought it was Eddie Murphy doing that to be honest lol

It sounds like you are assuming either of them can do a decent Chris. As well as I can recall, Tracy doesn't do ANY impressions, and I've never seen Tim's Chris. So I'm thinking they put Jimmy in there because he does a good Chris. In fact, it's probably the only reason they had the character appear in the sketch in the first place. Derp.

@@jameslarimer9211yes but why use a Chris Rock impression if your black cast members can’t do it? You could pick any impressions without having to use a White cast member to play a black person. Pretty easy

@@jameskennedy552 Because he does a REALLY SOLID impression of Chris Rock. Why is this so complicated?

@@jameslarimer9211 He does but he does a lot of other great impressions too

@@jameskennedy552 Right, and so he does those too. Ariana Grande does an amazing Judy Garland but nobody says, "Oh, she shouldn't do Judy Garland because she does other people too." Why does this issue seem to be so unnecessarily tricky when someone's skin is a certain color? Just let him do the impression. It's not like he was playing to any stereotypes or even being unflattering to Chris in any way. He was doing a very good impression of someone famous. A person. Doing an impression of another person. But if the subject is black suddenly it's super dicey? Honestly, THAT seems pretty racist.

Plus, he looks like frickin' Eddie Murphy. Wow.

Chris rock approved it you know that right? He wasnt mocking black people he was doing an impersonation

More crying about the choice of blackface for this. So tell me, if he had just went out in his normal skin tone would that part make any sense?

Yes it did, stop being a ninny

I hope the NBC rebroadcasts of the 03/11/00 episode of SNL (aired on the same day after I was born) shall be removed, most likely after Jimmy's apologize from 2020.

Stop virtue signalling. There's nothing wrong with it.
