Jimmy Fallon has finally responded to the backlash over his recent segment featuring white TikTok star
Addison Rae teaching him several viral dances, with zero credit given to the choreography’s mostly Black creators.
On Monday’s broadcast, Fallon’s first since being off for a week, he invited the creators of those dances to appear on the show.
“On our last show before the break, we did a bit with Addison Rae, where she taught me eight viral TikTok Dances,” Fallon said at the beginning of the segment. “Now we recognize that the creators of those dances deserve to have their own spotlight, so right now, some of the creators will join me to talk about how their dance went viral, and then perform the dance themselves.”
