Via ABC News:
Comedian and "The League" star Steve Rannazzisi has admitted that he
lied about escaping the Twin Towers 14 years ago during the attacks of 9/11.
In past interviews, the actor said he was working as an account manager at Merrill Lynch in the South Tower when the first tower was hit. According to an interview in 2009 with Marc Maron, he explained back then that he got to the streets before the second plane hit and before both towers collapsed.
"I worked on the 54th floor of the second tower," he told Maron, adding
Port Authority told his co-workers "everything's being taken care of"
and to remain where they were on that day. He said he didn't listen and
left the building. In his descriptive story, Rannazzisi even describes
where he was standing when the second plane hit.
After the New York Times reported
some inconsistencies in his story and that he was actually working in
midtown, Manhattan, far away from the 9/11 site near Battery Park, his
publicist released a statement. The Times also reported that he never
worked for Merrill Lynch.
So yeah...fuck this guy.
