As reported by Vulture, NBCUniversal is pulling—or has already pulled—four episodes of 30 Rock that feature characters in blackface from Hulu and Amazon. This is coming at the specific request of series creator Tina Fey and executive producer Robert Carlock, with Fey writing in a statement to the various platforms that host 30 Rock that “’intent’ is not a free pass for white people to use these images” and that she’s sorry for “pain they have caused.” She adds that “no comedy-loving kid needs to stumble on these tropes and be stung by their ugliness.”
