After Jimmy Kimmel apologized for appearing in blackface to impersonate NBA star Karl Malone and other Black celebrities years ago, Adam Carolla offered his support.
the host ranked Kimmel"in my top three of all-time of decent people I've ever met in my life."
Carolla's remarks came the same day that Kimmel, responding to criticism of his appearances in blackface years ago, issued a statement apologizing for his impersonation of Malone and other Black celebrities on radio and"The Man Show," which reveled in flouting socially acceptable behavior.
Whereas Kimmel was contrite about the blackface appearances, Carolla, choosing a different tack from his former co-host after seeing"The Man Show" and #CancelKimmel trending on Twitter, took issue with some of the criticism."Could we remove the jewelers’ loupe and the spotlight from comedians? Politicians, OK, they’re making policy … even coaches or moms or dads, fine. Comedians are there to push things,” he said.
"I was saying this years ago and I meant it. Blackface is something. Doing Karl Malone is something else or doing Oprah is something else. … That is not blackface," Carolla said.
