CNN talks about 790 the zone shock jocks taking shots at Gleason.

Dont really feel sorry for them.....but I'll say this: I listened to it, and never got the impression that either of the 2 hosts were super-into it. That doesn't excuse it, because clearly they went along with it and must have known what was going on, before it even happened. But they didn't even give it the "over-the-top fake laugh" like you hear on Bob and Tom every morning. Well, one was snorting/laughing moreso than the other, for sure...but even during the knock-knock jokes you could tell it just felt uncomfortable and awkward at times.

"Family Guy" style humor doesn't work in the real world. It "works" on Family Guy because at the end of the day, that's a cartoon. People are a bit more willing to give a pass to that. But in real time, it's different. Seth MacFarlane, the Family Guy creator, learned this at the Oscars when he made a Chris Brown / Rhianna joke. Those are the types of jokes he's probably made hundreds of times on Family Guy. But when he did it at the Oscars? Major flack.
