Che was slammed on Twitter again following his joke about a 67-year-old woman giving birth. “See, you guys don’t realize this but that joke took me like four hours to write,” he said. “I had much better punchlines but the fellas at NBC standards said they were all too dirty.” The backlash to the joke even prompted a backlash to the backlash.
