Television and radio personality Carson Daly on Wednesday issued an apology for homophobic jokes he made on his radio broadcast earlier in the day while referencing an recent incident aboard a Jet Blue flight where passengers had to restrain and unstable pilot who suffered a mid-air meltdown.
During a discussion of how the men who restrained the pilot were on their way to a security conference in Las Vegas, Daly insinuated that gay passengers wouldn’t have been able to subdue the crazed pilot whose actions placed passengers in danger, and said, “With my luck, it would be like … this is the flight going to [gay] pride in San Francisco.”
“That would be my colleagues,” said Carson, who then spoke in a higher-pitched gay stereotype voice, saying, “Uh, we’re headed down to Vegas for the floral convention … could we get a little help up here with the pilot?”
“‘Uh, no … no thank you, handle it,’” Daly said would be the response from the gay passengers.
Following the posting of TMZ’s story, Daly tweeted, “This morning on my radio show I attempted to make fun of myself & offended others by mistake. I sincerely apologize.”
