“Ill be the first to admit.
I wont go back and watch those old shows.
Its like, Who is that guy?
But that was my shtick, thats what I did and I own it.
I dont think I got embraced by Nazi groups and hate groups.
They seem to think I was against them, too.
Everybody had a bone to pick with me.
In the parody, Stern wore blackface to play Danson and repeatedly used the N-word.
Yeah, I was lampooning him and saying, Im going to shine a light on this.
But would I go about it the same way now?
Not probably, I wouldnt.
Theyre all out there.
Theres nothing new here.
I was the craziest motherf on radio.
There will never be another show crazier than mine.
“There is no excuse for this.
Tom Hanks,Julianne Hough,Joni Mitchell, and other celebritieshave also had to addresspast incidents involving blackface.
