As someone who makes constant terrible jokes both personally and professionally, I myself found particular solace in the story that Louis C.K. told on the Tonight Show last night about his own attempted but extremely-failed zinger on the set of the new Ricky Gervais movie, The Invention of lying.
The painfully funny story starts about halfway through this clip (after a good but not up to normal Louis C.K. amazingness standup set) — I just hope that John Hodgman has gotten over this vicious zinger…
