The Wrap and NBC-TV via YouTube:
Late-night host Jimmy Fallon is facing criticism on social media after a video of him performing in blackface in a 2000 “SNL” skit resurfaced.
The hashtag #JimmyFallonIsOverParty began trending as a result of the Fallon and Darrell Hammond sketch, which features Fallon doing an impersonation of Chris Rock in full hair and makeup to look like the former cast member.
A clip from the 20-year-old skit was posted by Twitter user @chefboyohdear, who pointed out, “NBC fired Megyn Kelly for mentioning blackface. Jimmy Fallon performed on NBC in blackface.”
