ENDSTOMO! Inspired by the book by William FeaverBy Lee Hall [Billy Elliot] Jackson Jive skit totally off-colour Doctors spark racism storm by blacking up for cringe-worthy Jacksons skit Wigs: The Jackson Jive perform, far left, but Harry Connick Jr isnt impressed with a white Michael, played by plastic surgeon Dr Anand Deva Pictures: Splash by SHeilA bruCeA VARIETY show is at the centre of a race row after group of doctors blacked themselves up in a skit of the Jackson 5. Dressed in white suits and wearing afro wigs, the Jackson Jive parody also featured a Michael Jackson impersonator with his face coloured white. American singer and actor Harry Connick Jr, who was serving as a guest judge on Australian TV show Hey Hey Its Saturday, was shocked and gave their ren- dition of Can You Feel It? a zero score. Man, if they turned up looking like that in the United States, itd be Hey Hey Theres No More Show, he said. I know it was done humorously, but weve 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. Plastic surgeon Dr Anand Deva, who starred as Jacko, said the skit was not meant as racist adding that he himself is Indian. Clearly, all of us want to apologise, he said.
