Reactions to the Jackson Jive Skit
Understanding the History of Blackface

"I profoundly apologise on behalf of entire of us for I know thatto your countrymen,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that's an insult to have a blackfaced customary."

The Return of Blackface
Perhaps at the heart of this cultural misconstruing namely ignorance in Australia about what blackface actually method. Somers and Connick both addressed this breach after in the procedure.
Former Hey Hey co-host Jacki McDonald, who returned for the reunion show and sat next to Connick on the Red Faces judging plate, gifted the Jackson Jive a score of 7. "I thought you were quite cute," she said, seemingly oblivious to the reason behind Connick's disapproval.
In Australia, the reaction has been mixed. Some trust the skit was, albeit unintentionally, racist and aggressive. Others believe Connick's comments were arrogant and overly politically correct. News articles, blogs, and social networking sites such as Twitter and YouTube have been overran with heated contentions among Australians and overseas viewers, especially from the United States, almost humour and racism in their relative countries.
Connick adopted the regrets and explained: "I know it was done humourously merely we've spent so much time attempting to not make black people look like buffoons that when we discern someone like that we take it really to center ... You understand how much I adore this show and this country yet I feel like I'm by home here and whether I knew that was going to be portion of the show, I definitely wouldn't have done it."
The multinational response to the skit has been scathing, with Australia characterized as a racist backwater. UK weekly The Guardian described it, and Somers' perceptible ignorance of its offensiveness as "mind-boggling". On US political speak show The O'Reilly Factor,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Margaret Hoover claimed Australia was behind the US in its civilian rights movement. The View's Joy Behar pointed apt the ill manipulation of Aboriginal folk for beyond certify of Australian racism.
American singer Harry Connick Jr, who had arose on Hey Hey It's Saturday multiple periods in the elapse, was a guest decide on the mimic aptitude section Red Faces. Unlike the smiling laboratory crowd, Connick was visibly angry by the "Jackson Jive" skit and awarded the group a score of zero, informing Hey Hey host Daryl Somers that if they turned up looking like that in the United States… itd be like hey hey, theres no more show.

Hey Hey It's Saturday was a long-running Australian sitcom variety show that reconvened because two reunion specials in 2009. The second of these aired on October 7, and functioned the immediately infamous "blackface" skit at the "Jackson Jive". This so-called tribute to the late Michael Jackson functioned 5 men in Afro wigs and black-painted faces, plus "Michael" with his face drew pearly, singing and dance to The Jacksons' 1980 kick Can You Feel It.
