seized the opportunity, responding, "Wouldn' t it be funny if that girl got
raped by like five guys? Like right now? What if a bunch of guys just raped
her?" The audience laughed raucously. After all, isn' t anyone who yells

free tickets for another night--admitting, however, that she understood if
this woman never wanted to return.

indeed, it went viral.

Coincidentally, on the same night that Tosh, in his signature
sarcastic approach to reality, provoked the woman, Sarah Silverman was
performing at Foxwords Casino, and she touched upon the same taboo
