Jimmy Fallon, the host of “The Tonight Show,” apologized for wearing blackface while impersonating fellow comedian Chris Rock on “Saturday Night Live," 20 years ago.

“In 2000, while on SNL, I made a terrible decision to do an impersonation of Chris Rock while in blackface,” Fallon said on Twitter. “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.”
