I can't find the clip and don't remember what year exactly, but I believe he was in on 9/11 one year and as they watched footage of one of the towers collapsing (MSNBC was replaying it in real time) Jim said something like "do Americans ever watch the footage in reverse so there's a happy ending?" Then, cringe induced silence.
Jeffries had a golden line, butthurt is the right word to use when you host a comedy radio show and your reaction to a joke is silence. Sounds butthurt to me
That's actually pretty funny, and not that offensive compared to the shit they've all cracked jokes about throughout their careers. Not to mention, the Hulk Hogan smashing the twin towers pic they all find so funny (as do I).
I love the O&A show, and the majority of its guests. But Jim is in a different league, the guy reminds me of a happier version of Bill Hicks. I look forward to the times Jim, Bill Burr or Doug Stanhope visit, as they are all fantastic comics.
So fuck O&A in this instance, Jim knows how far to push things, and doesn't deserve a cringey silence.
It has to be the Sept 11, 2009 show...I haven't gone back and listened to it yet, but I went over the rundown for that day. Jim Jeffries is there and although his specific joke isn't mentioned in the rundown, the caller's jokes toward the end of the show were suggestive of something JJ said that stimulated many callers joking that JJ was being pro-terrorist.

That's it. It was funny to hear them be offended by a joke.

Kinda makes you sound like you oversold their reaction though.

I think that was one of his more recent appearances, but I can't be sure.

I don't see the big deal, they kiss Gilbert Gottfried's ass, he started making 9/11 jokes as the buildings were collapsing.

Is that the day they handed out all of the medals to the base-jumpers?

It seemed rather obvious to me they were doing a bit, playing up the reaction to mess around with jeffries.
