<p>On Tuesday, Jimmy Fallon issued a public apology for an old SNL clip where he impersonated Chris Rock. The resurfaced sketch caused people on social media to call for his cancelation.</p>
<p>His complexion in the sketch was darker than we all know it to be, and Jimmy quickly addressed the matter with an apology.</p>
<p>As we <em><a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/jimmy-fallon-issues-apology-for-using-blackface-after-old-snl-clip-of-him-impersonating-chris-rock-goes-viral/">previously</a></em> reported he said, “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. I am very sorry for making this unquestionably offensive decision and thank all of you for holding me accountable.”</p>
<p>On Wednesday, Jamie Foxx came to Jimmy’s defense as he left a comment under<em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CAq2l2MnwY2/"> E News</a></em>’ Instagram post about the matter.</p>
<p>He said, “He was doing an impression of Chris Rock. It wasn’t blackface “We comedians, I know it’s a tough time right now. But this one is a stretch. On a show called &#8216;In Living Color&#8217; we played every race. Let this one go. We got bigger fish to fry … #changecourse.”</p>
