Fallout from 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon''s Michele Bachmann intro music controversy continues.
According to EW, The Roots, the in-house band on 'Late Night,' must now get their song choices approved by NBC. The band's frontman Questlove said he understands the need for the new process.
"It's still a comedy show, so they promise not to step on my toes or that type of thing, but they definitely want to know the title of the song, the subject matter of the song, can it be seen as an insult?" he said.
The new screening process comes after The Roots played 'Lyin' Ass B--ch' when the Republican presidential candidate walked on stage.
NBC apologized to Bachmann a day later. Doug Vaughan, the vice president for late night programming at NBC, sent the congresswoman a letter.
"It was kind of wrong for me to throw [NBC] under the bus without telling them what it was, so I understand from a business standpoint," Questlove told the Associated Press.
