"..The Nine Network has sparked condemnation over the racial overtones of a blackface skit performed during a live broadcast of Hey Hey It's Saturday.
US singer Harry Connick Jr, who made a guest appearance on the Wednesday evening reunion special, has slammed the network for allowing the skit to take place during the talent segment Red Faces.
During the skit, five men were covered in black face paint and black wigs and re-enacted their skit Jackson Jive, which appeared years ago when Hey Hey was originally on air.
The Michael Jackson character this time had his face painted white.
Connick Jr was one of the judges of the segment and took offence to the act, giving it a zero.
A backstage source said that Connick Jr nearly walked off before the show was over.
He expressed his disgust to the show's host Daryl Somers and it was arranged for Connick Jr to voice his concerns at the end of the show.
"Thanks Daryl - and I just wanted to say on behalf of my country, I know it was done in humour ... but we have spent so much time trying to not make black people look like buffoons, that when we see something like that we take it really to heart," Connick Jr said.
During last night's Red Faces segment, Somers said the contestants had appeared on the show 20 years ago with the same act.
The group, who were medical students at the time, had won the segment.
Last night, the performer playing Michael Jackson told Somers he now works as a plastic surgeon.
The other members of the group said they were also working as medical professionals, including a radiologist, a cardiologist and a psychologiwst..." (Fairfax Media)
