Halle Berry appeared on the Tonight Show last Friday and apparently made a Jewish joke which was then edited out for broadcast (though heard live). Allegedly they showed an image where she had a large distorted nose and she said, “Here’s where I look like my Jewish cousin!” Later the word “Jewish” was erased and replaced with a laugh track. Her apology via Page Six:

“I so didn’t mean to offend anybody – and after the show I realized it could be seen as offensive, so I asked Jay to take it out, and he did,” Berry said.

She explained further: “What happened was, I was backstage before the show, and I have three girls who are Jewish who work for me. We were going through pictures to see which ones looked silly, and one of my Jewish friends said [of the big-nose picture], ‘That could be your Jewish cousin!’ And I guess it was fresh in my mind, and it just came out of my mouth. But I didn’t mean to offend anybody. I didn’t. I didn’t mean any harm.”
