New Year’s Eve incident
Leggero was criticized on December 31, 2013, for a joke she made during NBC’s New Year’s Eve with Carson Daly, when, in response to a controversial tweet posted by SpaghettiOs on the anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack, she quipped: “It sucks that the only survivors of Pearl Harbor are being mocked by the only food they can still chew.”
Leggero’s remarks were met with a backlash over social media; in response, Leggero posted in a blog entry that she did not feel that “the amazing courage of American veterans and specifically those who survived Pearl Harbor is in any way diminished by a comedian making a joke about dentures on television.
Do we really believe that the people who fought and defended our freedom against Nazis and the Axis powers will find a joke about Spaghetti O’s too much to bear? Sorry, I have more respect for Veterans than to think their honor can be impugned by a glamorous, charming comedian in a fur hat.” Leggero also called on those offended by the remarks to donate to Disabled American Veterans.
