Waleed Aly and Sarah Harris have apologized for a rude joke about Jesus on last night's episode of Australia's talk show,The Project.
Queer comedian Reuben Kaye caused a stir Tuesday with his X-rated gag, which panel members laughed at.
“I love Jesus, I love any man who can get nailed for three days straight and come back for more,” Kaye said.
Aly, who reacted awkwardly to the joke, spoke grimly to the camera Wednesday alongside Harris.
“During an interview last night, our guest told a joke that we know was deeply and unnecessarily offensive to many of you,” Aly said.
We want to acknowledge the particular offense it caused our Muslim viewers but especially our Christian viewers.
“Obviously I understand how deep that offense ran.”
Harris, who laughed after the joke, also joined in the humiliating apology.
