Lilley’s show Jonah from Tonga was pulled from the air in 2017 after it was accused of being racist. The Guardian reported that the Human Rights Commission deemed Jonah from Tonga “offensive” and Alfred Ngaro, the minister for Pacific Peoples for Pacific, argued the show “perpetuates negative stereotypes” of Tongan people.
