UK:Ted Danson apologises again for blackface controversy

Ted Danson has again apologised for his controversial blackface performance.

The Cheers and The Good Place actor, 78, revisited the incident during an appearance on Who's with Me?, a new podcast hosted by comedian and filmmaker W Kamau Bell, with their conversation partly focused on the performance Danson delivered while dating actress and comedian Whoopi Goldberg at the height of their relationship.

Danson's routine, which took place during a Friars Club roast honouring Goldberg, now 70, drew widespread condemnation after details emerged beyond the private event and remains one of the most controversial moments of the star's long career.

Danson said: "I would like to address this and apologise forever.

"I know what was in my heart. So, I have no problem talking about this, but I need to and want to apologise for the rest of my life because somebody today can go on the Internet, you're right, and go, 'What the f***? Wow. I feel betrayed. I feel angry and whatever'.
