Well, what can I say. Leftists sure are hilarious.

Not all liberals are oversensitive dweebs who pretend to get offended about everything. I thought it was really funny.

Why do you call people on the left "liberals" over there? It makes no sense at all as what these people represent, how they behave and what they want has nothing to do with liberalism.

Liberals have a "live and let live - just don't touch my freedom" point of view.
What you call "liberals" want to control rights like free speech and firearms, want to take from the rich as much as possible because it's "unfair" others have more than they do and believe in equality of OUTCOME and other insane ideas.

Stop calling these people liberals, please, they are simply leftists.

It was funny. Nobody got hurt. A few people got offended, but survived. Some young, white, college-educated white people's heads exploded, but that's no loss.

yes, funny...but a double-standard if ever there was one

A resurfaced clip of Fallon wearing blackface while impersonating Chris Rock on Twitter prompted the hashtag #jimmyfallonisoverparty early Tuesday. On Tuesday afternoon, The Tonight Show host apologized via Twitter. "In 2000, while on SNL, I made a terrible decision to do an impersonation of Chris Rock while in blackface. There is no excuse for this," he tweeted. "I am very sorry for making this unquestionably offensive decision and thank all of you for holding me accountable."

Always hated him. They'll never get anyone like Carson again; to me Fallon was scraping the bottom of the sewer.

reply

I agree. I just never thought he was funny. He had a few funny skits on snl with a lot of help .
