One Kanye West fan was particularly upset with Tapper:

Tapper later had to tap out of the match because of deadlines, but we’re sure Jake really regretted having to leave that kind of vile reaction behind for a while:
as much as i'd like to continue this veritable Algonquin Roundtable with angry Kanye fans, i'll be subbing for Wolf in 15 min. Tune in!

Tapper’s sense of humor in these situations might be wasted on some people, but not us.
