Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe Post reports security escorted the protesters out, and that the comedian addressed them from the stage.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo a guy whose whole career is complaining about tiny annoyances finally got a huge one, live, with an audience. That's a gift.
