The scene occurs in Season 5 Episode 4, in which a comedy streaming executive Del (Wayne Brady) asks Liz (Audra McDonald) to take a sensitivity read on one of his comedians, and they discuss cancel culture.
Marissa (Sarah Steele), Jay (Nyambi Nyambi) and Jim (Ifรกdansi Rashad) are having a discussion, and Jay says it feels like you now “need a permission slip to tell a joke.” Jim then prints “joke permits,” and wonders about off-limit topics.
“Um, necrophilia?” Jim says.
“No, that could be funny,” Marissa reacts.
“Autism,” Jay says.
“Selena Gomez‘s kidney transplant,” Jim then offers.
The Saved By the Bell reboot came under fire after mocking her kidney transplant years ago.
See some of the reactions…
It's honestly disgusting to me that television shows these days target Selena Gomez's Kidney Transplant. First, the "Saved by the Bell" reboot, now "The Good Fight"? When will these show writers stop making fun of the queen, icon, & role model? So devastating. #RESPECTSELENAGOMEZ
