I would hate to be an NBC exec right about now.
So who at NBC thought it would be a good idea for the special today to be, among other things, fried chicken, “in honor of Black History Month”?
Because, spoiler alert – it wasn’t a good idea at all. And now NBCU employee Questlove is bringing it to the attention of his 1 million plus Twitter followers.
Questlove, the band leader and drummer for The Roots (the house band on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon) tweeted this picture from the NBC Commissary at 30 Rock, with the comment: “Hmm HR?”
I think the next thing NBC is going to do is make Brian Williams to do his newscast in blackface to "make things more ethnic." I guess the obligatory apology form letter has been sent to black leaders who won't raise an uproar since it was NBC and not Fox News.
