Timing is everything, which is why Louis C.K. got a bad rap when he voiced his support of Daniel Tosh on Twitter when Tosh was under fire for making rape jokes. Appearing on The Daily Show Monday night, C.K. told Jon Stewart he wasn’t aware of the rape-joke controversy when he tweeted, “@danieltosh your show makes me laugh every time I watch it. And you have pretty eyes.” C.K. has been known to defend other comedians’ off-color jokes in the past, but he’s also famously averse to social media, so we’re inclined to believe him this time. “I’ve been called a rape apologist because I said hi to a guy,” C.K. joked to Stewart before noting that he’d learned from the experience. “I’ve read some blogs during this whole thing that have enlightened me to things I didn’t know.”
