Comedian Steve Rannazzisi at an unknown event. Where could he be?
Buffalo Wild Wings pitchman and star of FXX’s The League Steve Rannazzisi has admitted he lied about escaping the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. The good news is he’s even more famous now. The bad news is he’s famous for saying he was working at Merrill Lynch in the south tower when a plane hit the north, when in fact Merrill Lynch had no office in either tower, and Rannazzisi was working in midtown for somebody else. Previously, he was best known for the following joke:
Rannazzisi: Knock knock!
Audience: Who’s there?
Rannazzisi: Steve Rannazzisi—I’ve just escaped from a horrible tragedy. You’ve got to let me in to your living room on Wednesdays at 10pm!
Audience: We don’t have FXX.
But now he’s a liar, and we hate him. Or we love him because he told the truth about lying? Consideration after the jump.
