Red Faced Alright!...

The hugely popular, and mostly anticipated come back of the 80’s family show, Hey Hey It’s Saturday, has got it’s show off to a flying start with the host already having to make a public appology for a racist act that appeared on the Red Faces segment that is hugely popular with viewers.

Harry Connick Jnr, who was one of the guest judges on the show for the segment, was appauled by a skit act that was done by some contestants trying to pull off the Jackson 5. The members had worn black wigs and painted their faces black, whilst the last member came out wearing a black wig and had his face painted white, to act like Michael Jackson.

Connick Jnr was so disgraced by it all he gave them a big fat zero as a result, and later added “I know it was done humorously, but we’ve spent so much time trying not to make black people look like buffoons that when we see something like that we take it really to heart. I know it was in good fun and the last thing I want to do is to take this show to a down level, because you know how much I love this show and this country.”

He added, “If I knew that was going to be part of the show, I probably, I definitely, wouldn’t have done it.”

Daryl Sommers, who was the original host and was looking forward to the greatest come back show of the year, has been embaressed by it all and made an appology stating he never meant to offend.
