Another late-night Jimmy is apologizing for blackface.

FirstJimmy Fallon, now Jimmy Kimmel.

(The more formal late-night James, Corden, remains unscathed for now.)

That delay was a mistake.

Kimmel is specifically apologizing for a recurring impersonation of basketball player Karl Malone in the late 1990s.

In each case, I thought of them as impersonations of celebrities and nothing more.

Looking back, he slaps himself on the wrist, simply calling the impressions embarrassing.

I love this country too much to allow that.
