  1. Too bad. Such a genius, or at least potentially, comedically – but with such little common sense. Even if it was an inside joke between him and Whoopie ( and by the way, Whoopie forGod sakes?) what a poor choice. Blackface is clearly offensive, and I’m even one of those people who think that SOME things get over-blown. Not this, though. Bad idea, insensitive idea, poor judgment altogether. So much potential (great on Cheers, even better on Curb Your Enthusiasm), but it’s all overshadowed by this kind of $h1t.
