Anderson’s last tweet contained a link to an article about comedy post-9/11 that he was featured in.
“Everything was a blur after 9/11,” Anderson noted in the article.
Of the first show that he did after the tragedy, Anderson said, “I was funny that night but much more thoughtful and comforting to the people who ventured out like I did, and I was also very comforted by them.”
“We have to keep moving, one foot in front of the other, somehow believing things would be better and we would be all right. Little did we know that 2020 was not far away,” Anderson added.
