X-Nico

Guy Aoki

In July 2001 Aoki became embroiled in a public controversy stemming from his objection to a joke told by comedienne Sarah Silverman, which involved her use of the ethnic slur "chink", in an interview on the July 11, 2001 episode of Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

Silverman and Aoki later appeared together on the August 22, 2001 episode of Politically Incorrect, along with panelists David Spade and Anne-Marie Johnson, chair of the Screen Actors Guild Ethnic Employment Opportunity Committee.
