Kenan Thompson, one of the sketch comedy show's four black cast members, portrayed the chairman of the state ethics committee in a room full of white cast members playing state officials.

"As chair of the ethics committee I have to ask, has anybody else worn blackface in college?" an exasperated Thompson asks.

The state officials then went through various examples of wearing blackface, expressing uncertainty over whether each scenario would be inappropriate.

"What if the blackface was just part of your costume of a black person?" one official asked.

"Does it count if you did it all the way back in the 80s?" another official asked.

"Of course not," one official chimed in. "It was funny and cool in the 80s."

"I'm going to stop you right there, Phil," Thompson piped in. "It does still count, and it was never funny or cool."
