NBC is showing that they hear the masses by pulling some shows that do not align with today’s temperature.
On four episodes Jane Krakowski’s wore the crass theatrical make-up.
“As we strive to do the work and do better in regards to race in America, we believe that these episodes featuring actors in race-changing makeup are best taken out of circulation,” she said in a memo sent to platforms who stream the sitcom.
The episodes in question are “Believe In The Stars” (season 3, episode 2) and “Christmas Attack Zone” (season 5, episode 10) where Jane Krakowski’s character Jenna is in blackface.
Additionally Jon Hamm wore the paint of shame in a “Amos ‘n’ Andy” parody in “Live from Studio 6H” (season 6, episode 19).
