Just rewatched the airport sketch... laughing the whole time.

I forgot about that Dakota Johnson dad and daughter ISIS sketch

Wasn't it just something that came up on their podcast? Makes sense to me that they might talk about some old sketches and their thoughts on them today.

I have a picture from an historical figure event in the late 80s at my middle school - I was Davy Crockett and brought my dad's unloaded gun with me as a prop and next to me is a white girl in full-on blackface as Harriet Tubman. It's fucking wild.

Ah, cool, I wasn't aware of the context. But in any case it's brought up in a modern context and that seems fine to distance himself from it/demonstrate that he's changed (at least in mindset). No harm no foul.

It probably came up because Sharon Stone was a guest on the podcast, and Carvey likely rewatched the SNL episode in order to be prepared with questions, etc. , watched the "offending" sketch and thought "Uh oh, that didn't age well" and felt the need to address the sketch with Sharon. In this particular situation, I kind of get it.

In fifth grade we did book reports on biographies of historical figures and we had to dress up as our subject. I did my report on Benjamin Banneker, an African-American scientist in the 1700s. I wore a shirt with a vest and fashioned a wide-brimmed bucket hat into a tricorn hat using some safety pins. And my mom got me some brown face powder... I was 10 and it was the 80s (in a pretty white small town) and no one batted an eye.

I hope that you have tracked down all of your classmates from that grade, and sent them a written apology for subjecting them to your offensive and racist behavior.

Also as has been brought up here “You couldn’t make that today” is a very frequent talking point on the podcast.

You can blame the writers too and maybe Conan O' Brien wrote or came up with some of those ideas back then.

Glad we lived in a era with no cellphones and social media so none of those school plays are recorded and only the people who went through and lived during that time remember those stories.

I don't want to relive impersonating Kid Frost a Spanish rapper in a presentation with another guy in Spanish III again during my junior year in high school.

What an incredibly odd comment.

Anything Jeff starts "Maybe" is going to be an odd comment.

I guess you are a P Diddy fan and like or liked his music?
