The controversial "Blackface" trope in film and TV has come under great scrutiny in recent years. Some of that criticism has been retroactive, which includes Jimmy Fallon coming under fire for performing in Blackface in one of his Saturday Night Live sketches. Other comedy shows that have included Blackface scenes have also had the entire episodes pulled from streaming, including 30 Rock, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Scrubs, among others. Memorably, Dan Aykroyd had also performed in Blackface for a scene in the 1983 comedy Trading Places.
