Carr in trouble for his ‘shannonigans’

I really should have mentioned this is my last post, but Alan Carr made a name for himself on Saturday night , but for all the wrong reasons, the gooffy comic has been branded ‘sick’ for dedicating his award for best comedy personality to Karen Matthews.

Apparently his joke was poorly timed after the mother of Shannon Matthews was only sentenced last week.

When collecting his award the comic said that he had originally planned his Celebrity Ding Dong sketch to feature rough women not fashionistas.

“It didn’t work out because they couldn’t cast it. I suppose it is a bit difficult to find rough women. I suppose Shannon Matthew’s mum was busy,” he said.

“Oh yeah, she would be my dream guest. I think she’s a gay icon. People like a bit of rough don’t they?”

Carr added: “I must be obsessed with her actually if you look at my Google searches. So I should dedicate this award to her.”

I am sorry , but i know what he said was in poor taste but he is a comedian, he is there to push the envelope, to make people laugh and I am certain that he meant no harm in his comment. It seems since that phone call, everything that comics say and do is being watched and anyone who slips is being punished, I would like to take this chance to say that comics in the 70′s and 80′s were a lot worse. Nothing was off limits.

Alan has done the right thing in saying sorry, because he is not a horrible person and he would like to have a career , i mean for heaven’s sake he had just won an award! But i just wish that some people would jump off this band wagon and start realising that their is nothing wrong with a good laugh.

P.S tell me anything he said that was that offensive other than to a woman who has just been found guilty for kidnapping her own daughter.
