Comedian Garry Shandling tries out Zimmerman joke to tepid Twitter reception

Comedian Garry Shandling hasn’t been funny for a couple of decades and he’s extending his streak on Twitter by making jokes about George Zimmerman. Maybe it’s more of a performance meant for a late night smoky club with boozed up clientele who applaud politely and occasionally produce a heckler:

Ouch. Tough crowd.

He did score a retweet from Henry Winkler:

Ten to one odds Zimmerman jumps his own attorney during closing argument, because he seems suspicious.

Shark. Definitely. Jumped.
