Comedy not funny after attacks
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Dave Barry wasn't funny. Comedy Central is keeping its signature show off the air. And David Letterman's guest Monday was Dan Rather, rarely known for laughs.
"We've lived through shock, anger, grief, fear. We're going to live through some more of it. But you know what, we need a release too," he said.
Rather, barely another Humor was muted in the wake of last week's terrorist attacks, even as America's late-night television hosts returned to the air.
Letterman's Late Show on CBS, heeding President Bush's advice to get back to work Monday, returned to the air for the first time since last Tuesday's attack. Rather and Regis Philbin were Letterman's guests.
On ABC's Politically Incorrect, producers kept one of the talk show's four guest chairs empty in honor of conservative commentator Barbara Olson, who died in one of the ill-fated planes last week.
"Things have changed in America, so we're going to change our show a little bit," host Bill Maher said. "It's going to be a little more serious. I think that's OK. It's OK with you?" he said, drawing applause from a Los Angeles studio audience.
But Maher added that humor could be appropriate and necessary.
Barry, the syndicated humor columnist, dispensed
with the jokes in his column in Monday's newspapers.
already today. Barry wrote, "I don't
"No humor today. Barry wrote, "I want to write it, and you don't want to read it."
Instead, Barry wrote about the nature of Americans.
Comedy Central has kept The Daily Show, a satirical show that runs four times weekly at 11 p.m. Eastern, on reruns since the attack. The network decided Monday not to bring the show back live this week, spokesman Tony Fox said.
"When you're talking about a show that is a news parody and the news is so consumed about this tragedy, what's funny about what's unfolding here? Nothing," he said. "As someone at the show said succinctly, irony is dead for the moment."
Comedy Central also removed rums of its sitcom about President Bush, That's My Bush! from the air and has painstakingly gone through its tapes to make sure it is not showing anything insensitive, Fox said.
The humor magazine The Onion also said it would publish no new material this week, instead putting out a "rerun issue" of light articles that were previously released.
"There will be humor, but not now," said staffer Stephen Thompson. "We're not feeling especially relevant right now. What are we going to say? 'Ooh, that Osama bin Laden, he'll be the victim of our rapier wit!'"
