Mr. S.B. Woo
President, 80-20 National Asian American Political Action Committee, Inc.
Dear Mr. Woo,
I’m sorry you felt that a call with our producer to personally apologize would have been insufficient. However, to repeat, we’re writing again to offer our sincere apology. We would never purposefully broadcast anything to upset the Chinese community, Asian community, anyone of Chinese decent or any community at large. Our objective is to entertain.
As you know we’ve taken swift action to minimize the distribution of the skit by removing it from all platforms and editing it out of any future airings of the show. We appreciate your insight and your understanding.
Again, we hope our actions and our apology effectively address your concerns.
Thank you for bring this to our attention.
With respect and appreciation,
Lisa Berger (Signed)
EVP, Alternative Series, Specials and Late Night
Tim McNeal (Signed)
VP, Talent Development and Diversity
