      Shane Gillis and Stavros Halkias were the only two that turned it down as far as I know.

        Mike Birbiglia apparently turned it down, but didn’t make a big deal out of it.

        There’s no way that Nate Bargatze and John Mulaney didn’t get offers. I have to assume they turned it down based on the fact they didn’t go.

        Do you know if they turned it down for moral or ethical reasons or if they only turned it down because they already had a schedule conflict?

          I can’t find it now but FWIW I just saw a video earlier today where Shane Gillis was dicsussing this. His reaction (at least in retrospect) was “You mean the 9/11 guys? No thank you”.

          Well I guess I don’t know for sure but based on their general reactions to other people doing the show it sure seems like they turned it down for moral or ethical reasons.

        I dunno if he turned it down or just blasted people about it but Zach Woods had a great video denouncing this.

          I’m guessing he was just one of many other comedians that were blasting the others about it. I saw one list, I don’t know how comprehensive it is, but that’s what I’m going off of. It listed all the comedians on the bill and mentioned the two that turned it down.
