i think it s one of the finest moments in snl history. live from new york, it s saturday night. right after 9/11, i had to fly to new york to roast hugh heffner for comedy central. and we didn t know what was going to happen. the question becomes, how do you go about joking again, right? you re living in too-soon territory. the one and only gilbert g gottfried. if you joke about a tragedy, you re kind of beating the tragedy away. so i did a joke, i said, today i ll be using my muslim name, hasin beenlaid. there is a time when to laugh and laugh at. i wanted to do a joke that totally is over the line.
