CNN.com - Have you heard the one about Katrina? - Sep 16, 2005: "Ten years ago, Hughley said, he participated in a Harvard University seminar on comedy with Robert Klein and Joan Rivers. The question was posed: was there any subject they considered out of bounds for comedy?
Yes, Klein replied. There had just been a flood in India that had killed thousands of people. He saw nothing funny about that.
Rivers piped up: 'I just want to know. Who got all the jewelry?'
Hughley filed that away as a lesson.
'The event itself, of course it's not funny,' he said. 'It's the ironic things around it that everyone can relate to.'"
