Jimmy Fallon was in some hot water after an old SNL video resurfaced.
The video is from SNL in 2000, and sees him impersonating Chris Rock while in blackface.
Fallon has apologized to fans about the SNL sketch:
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.

The hashtag #JimmyFallonisoverparty was trending all over Twitter yesterday.
#jimmyfallonisoverparty is trending on twitter for impersonating Chris Rock in blackface 20 years ago on an SNL skit. Why don’t Marlon and Shawn Wayans get the same treatment for doing “whiteface” 16 years ago? pic.twitter.com/qrlPXJxPuN
