this is a waste of time, and why is it people need to get scolded for everything they say especially comedians. I don’t hate gays in any way. Public apologies for comedy are a joke, and Mike Richards is another example. It seems any minority group who has a organization witch hunts comedians over what they say…its censorship, and a joke the same goes for Gilbert Gottfried for the statements on Japan….and even the other one with Roger Ebert on Ryan Dunn.
Public Apology of the Day: Tracy Morgan returned to Nashville today — the site of his now-infamous anti-gay rant — to publicly apologize for his remarks.
“I want to apologize to my friends, my family and my fans,” Morgan said at a news conference held at the Nashville Convention Center. “I didn’t know. I didn’t mean it.”
He concluded his statement by hugging Kevin Rogers, the audience member whose account of Morgan’s show brought his homophobic comments to light. “I believe it was just a huge mistake,” Rogers said before Morgan left the room.

Fake Fakery of the Day: Tonight, comedian Craig Rowin, who supposedly asked for, and allegedly received, one million dollars from a money-lousy man named “Benjamin,” held his sold-out check-handing ceremony at the UCB Theatre in NYC. And guess what? You were right: It was all a big hoax.
Keith Haskel reports from the scene of the Grand Reveal:
It all turned out to be a farce, with Craig lighting the check on fire at the last moment (see my photo above) and revealing casting videos of the “millionaire”.
Really well done. I was fooled until the very end. There was security at the door, a Voss Water chugging contest (“because when you’re a millionaire, regular water tastes like piss”), and fake raffles.
You know what’s not cool? Lying about having a million dollars.

SNL Promos of the Day: Jeff Bridges is hosting SNL this Saturday for the first time since co-hosting with his brother Beau in 1983. If these promos are any indication of what’s to come, you may want to lower your expectations in advance.
But that’s just, like, my opinion, man.

The Muppets Take O’Reilly of the Day: Following Bill O’Reilly’s Pulitzer-prize baiting exposé on how Sesame Street is nothing more than a front for far-left indoctrination factory, Sesame Workshop veep Sherrie Westin appeared on last night’s show to plead with Fox News viewers to keep letting her company Svengali their kids into a life of Socialist servitude, and even introduced a new Muppet character modeled after the network’s flagship bloviator: Spill O’Reilly — a grouchy talking head who professes to be an equal opportunity antagonizer.
