Steve Rannazzisi, a stand up comedian, used a 9/11 story that he fabricated to make people laugh. Is that a good topic to laugh at?

Steve Rannazzisi, star of 'The League', apologized for having fabricated a story according to which he used to work in the World Trade Center when the 9/11 catastrophe took place. He confessed that he was not there when the terrorists attacked the Twin Towers and that his claims were fake, according to CNN.

Steve Rannazzisi's Confesseion

"After I moved with my wife to Los Angeles from New York City in 2001 shortly after 9/11, I told people that I was in one of the World Trade Center towers on 9/11," Rannazzisi said.

"It wasn't true. I was in Manhattan but working in a building in midtown and I was not at the Trade Center on that day," his post on twitter added. He also stated that he didn't know why he decided to lie, it was inexcusable and he regrets it badly.

All this time Steve Rannazzisi has been pretending that he used to work for Merrill Lynch - a company with an office in the Twin Towers. It was revealed earlier this Wednesday in New York Times that Merrill Lynch does not even have a record of his employment. All his stories about second plane hitting the tower proved to be a lie, he never was on floor 54 in the South Tower.

Many media-related personalities related with disgust. Ed Malyon commented, "This is pretty low." According to USAToday, Rannazzisi says he was an "immanure" young man who made a mistake which he wants never to have happened. His colleagues do not approve of such cheating, and most of them want to reconsider their attitude towards him, but one person even showed some sarcasm on it.

Meanwhile "Saturday Night Live's" Pete Davidson who lost his father who was a firefighter on that day of 9/11 and posted a tweet commenting on Rannazzisi's revealing: "It's ok @SteveRannazzisi people make mistakes ... Can't wait to meet my dad for lunch later."
