Jimmy Kimmel is now apologizing after footage from the 90s of the late-night talk show in blackface pretending to be retired NBA superstar, Karl Malone, in an old sketch from The Man Show.
Kimmel further added:
“I never considered that this might be seen as anything other than an imitation of a fellow human being.
Looking back, many of these sketches are embarrassing, and it is frustrating that these thoughtless moments have become a weapon used by some to diminish my criticisms of social and other injustices.”

Kimmel is not alone, Jimmy Fallon issued an apology back in May after footage of him rocking blackface in an SNL skit resurfaced.
