The Chappelle (No) Show; Comic skips Powell fundraiser
The Brooklyn Paper
The local reporter better known for his affection for Bruce Ratner and the controversial Atlantic Yards project than his comedy routine took the mic at a Kevin Powell fundraiser:
Stephen Witt, a reporter from the New York Post-owned Courier-Life chain, seized the microphone to try his hand at stand-up comedy during the delay.
“What do you know about Brooklyn 99-cent stores?” asked Witt, who last made headlines for hugging Atlantic Yards Bruce Ratner at a 2006 rally. “Have you ever been so broke that you had to put something on lay-away at a 99-cent store?”
Witt’s quip was met with boos.
“I could have been funnier, but I wasn’t too bad,” said Witt, who left the stage after a single joke.
