He said that wearing blackface was a \u201cterrible decision\u201d and \u201cunquestionably offensive,\u201d and he thanked those who condemned him \u201cfor holding me accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>HuffPost reached out to \u201cSNL\u201d for comment, but did not receive an immediate response.<\/p>\n<p>Before Fallon apologized, some people called for the comedian to be \u201ccanceled\u201d due to the 20-year-old clip.
