Jay Leno
Late night funny man Jay Leno has since apologized for a sketch comparing Vice President Dick Cheney’s hunting accident to a 2003 Los Angeles shooting outside a courthouse. A friend of the courthouse shooting victim Gerald Curry sent a letter to Jay about how offensive it was and told him to do the right thing. In a few days after sending the letter, Jay called the letter writer Wendy Brogin and said:
Hello, Wendy, this is Jay Leno. I’m calling about the letter you wrote and I want to apologize. I just want to let you know we make mistakes sometimes and we don’t mean to hurt people.
Guess Jay realized it isn’t really funny to make fun of people who were killed.
