Joan Rivers joked about Jerry Sandusky
on “Fashion Police” on Friday — the same night the former Penn State
assistant football coach was convicted on 45 counts of sexual abuse of
children.
The remark came during the comedy legend’s evisceration of a dress Keira Knightley wore to a film premiere.
Rivers commented that the gown was “busier than Jerry Sandusky backstage at [the] Kids’ Choice Awards.”
Wow.
Of course, Rivers has made jokes in poor taste before, including an eyebrow-raising crack about Whitney Houston’s death in her new book.
But the especially horrifying nature of the Sandusky case makes it a dubious source for comedy in the eyes of many observers.
Watch the cringe-worthy moment in the video below.
Was the Sandusky joke too far over the line?
