Of course, Kimmel isn’t the only big name in television to be scrutinized for harnessing that particular kind of makeup in pursuit of a laugh, and while Netflix may have missed the point when it removed an episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia that featured Mac going a bit too far in his attempt to impersonate Danny Glover’s character in the Lethal Weapon franchise, the creative minds behind 30 Rock and Scrubs both issued apologies after voluntarily pulling a few installments from streaming platforms thanks to an artistic choice they admitted they regretted making in hindsight. Unlike some people, I don’t wake up in the morning intent on digging up dirt from a celebrity’s past that I can use in an attempt to get them canceled, but if I was, I wouldn’t have needed to exert too much effort to unearth some old clips from The Man Show featuring Jimmy Kimmel showcasing a brand of comedy that hasn’t exactly aged well-like the sketch where he appeared in blackface that recently resurfaced almost two decades after he left the program to helm the talk show that would end up making him one of the biggest names in late-night.
