Jay Leno made jokes on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno about the Casey Anthony trial the same day her not-guilty verdict was read and many Americans were upset. His audiences member didn't even laugh at one of his jokes! Is there such a thing as a joke being too soon? If so, how soon is too soon?

Some topics, like the death of a child are never funny regardless of how many days pass between the tragedy and the joke. Jay Leno’s attempt at making Casey Anthony’s not-guilty verdict funny by comparing it to the OJ Simpson trial was in poor taste. Surely there were other, lighter, more humorous topics for Leno to use in his monologue that night?
