Late Night Talk Show Cancels Comedian’s Appearance

“The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” has canceled comedian Norm Macdonald’s appearance over insensitive comments he made regarding the “MeToo” movement.

According to Page Six:

Norm Macdonald‘s appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” was hastily canceled Tuesday after the comedian stirred controversy with remarks about the #MeToo movement and the treatment of Louis C.K., Chris Hardwick and Roseanne in recent scandals.

“Out of sensitivity to our audience and in light of Norm Macdonald’s comments in the press today, ‘The Tonight Show’ has decided to cancel his appearance on Tuesday’s telecast,” NBC said in a statement. The show’s decision to drop Macdonald came even after he apologized for his comments later in the day.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Macdonald said he was “happy the #MeToo movement has slowed down a little bit.” He further opined: “It used to be, ‘One hundred women can’t be lying.’ And then it became, ‘One woman can’t lie.’ And that became, ‘I believe all women.’ And then you’re like, ‘What?’ Like, that Chris Hardwick guy I really thought got the blunt end of the stick there.”

He also stated that he felt Roseanne Barr was treated harshly in the storm that ensued after she likened Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett to an ape in an early morning tweet in May. Barr was fired and her “Roseanne” sitcom revival was canceled within hours. (It was ultimately revived as “The Conners” without Barr’s involvement.)

Macdonald has since apologized for his insensitive comments and acknowledged the victims of harassment in his apology.
