at ourselves. We spend way to much time apologizing
for trivial remarks that were made in good gesture.
Take Halle Berry's joke on the Tonight show. She was
not trying to offend anyone, she was using the Jews as
a reference. Many Jews have outstanding noses just as
black folks have big butts. So come on people there's
way to much drama in the world and not enough laughter.
A simple appearance on "The Tonight Show" to plug her new movie "Things We Lost in the Fire" turned disastrous for Halle Berry after a joke she told was viewed as anti-Semitic, reports the New York Post.
During the Friday afternoon taping, Berry was showing photos of herself using the Mac program Photo Booth, which distorts images like a carnival fun-house mirror.
Commenting on the first picture showing her nose as oversized, Berry reportedly said: "Here's where I look like my Jewish cousin." A source in the audience told Page Six an awkward silence followed before Leno nervously said, "I'm glad you said that and not me." Berry, 41, followed with: "Oh my God, have I just like ruined my career?"
The show aired that night with Berry's "Jewish" comment edited out and a laugh track added to fill the silence. [View clip below.]
Another guest in the audience told the Post: "If you watch the clip, you can see Halle saying the word 'Jewish,' though obviously there is no audio. NBC covered her ass. Ms. Berry should know how unbelievably inappropriate her comment was . . . She should be ashamed of herself."
