Tenacious D - Is it okay to joke about the Trump shooting?

When is it okay to make a joke about certain topics? Kyle Gass, from band Tenacious D, found out when not to make a joke this weekend after being presented with a birthday cake by bandmate Jack Black at their Sydney show. When Black asked him to make a wish, he said “Don’t miss Trump next time”. This has caused major backlash and controversy, and as a result, their tour has been cancelled. Andrea is joined by comedian Jim Elliott, as well as listeners, to discuss. Image: Travis Shinn
