Jeff Zucker and Steve Tisch: Can 80,000 Booing NFL Fans Be Wrong?

Touted as a historical television fundraiser and awareness drive across three networks (Fox is sitting it out — stay classy, Rupe!), tonight’s Stand Up For Cancer event was momentous enough to commandeer halftime during Thursday’s NFL season opener at Giants Stadium. But it wasn’t quite momentous enough to keep the sold-out crowd from cascading jeers onto unpopular Giants co-owner/Oscar-winning producer Steve Tisch and innocent bystander Jeff Zucker, whose eventual introduction and comments were only slightly better regarded than his host’s, according to a Defamer operative in attendance. (Seriously — did Zucker’s infamous My Name is Earl introduction get around to that many people?) A fan captured the video featured after the jump, featuring plenty of middle fingers, chants of “asshole” and a much more benevolent welcome for Zucker-preceder Christie Brinkley. Tough crowd, indeed. [YouTube]
