Watch Anthony Anderson’s Hilarious Opening Of The NAACP Image Awards

“We actually have Black nominees.”

Five-time NAACP Image Awards Winner Anthony Anderson once again returned as host of this year's awards program, marking his 7th consecutive year in the role.

And while people are now used to the Black-Ish actor hosting the annual event, he once again was able to deliver the laughs with one hilarious opening monologue.

Everything from the Democratic presidential primaries to the whitewashing of other Hollywood award ceremonies were on Anderson’s target list.

  • Suffice to say, it had people rolling.
