Comedy Central to air comic Rannazzisi’s special

The fabricated story also left Comedy Central struggling with what decision to make regarding their relationship with Rannazzisi, but ultimately, moved forward with the scheduled one hour comedy special, Breaking Dad. The network said earlier in the day it was making no changes to its schedule, and spokesman Steve Albani said there would be no additional comment. According to Sally Smith, the company’s CEO, The League fits the image of the company, which landed Rannazzisi his spot with Buffalo Wild Wings.

‘We can’t know Rannazzisi’s exact motive for lying (indeed, he claims to not know either), but his lie does seem to have helped jump-start his career, if only by setting him apart, ‘ the psychiatrist wrote in a Washington Post article.

In a statement through his publicist and a string of contrite tweets, “The League” star admitted on Wednesday to having lied about escaping from his Merrill Lynch office in the twin towers on 9/11. He also said the incident inspired him to go to Hollywood.

The fictional story has caused Buffalo Wild WIngs to cut all ties with the comedian stating, “We are disappointed to learn of Steve’s misrepresentations regarding the events of September 11, 2001”.

“I don’t know why I said this”, he said.

After being confronted by the newspaper, he said in a statement that he was working in New York City during the 9/11 attacks but was not in the World Trade Center. If someone comes on this show and tells a story about their life, I will take what they’re saying at face value.

“It only made me more ashamed”.

She says we “shouldn’t necessarily feel enraged” by people who lie about 9/11 because they are “usually ultimately sad, lonely, empty people who capitalize on this unprecedented capacity for charity”.
