What comes to mind? Either industrial pipe insulation or “cottage cheese” ceiling plaster from the 60s and 70s.

Someone cracking jokes at the expense of some poor industrial worker’s health.

@zenvelo yeah, but in relation to a current famous comedian.
@FutureMemory No, actually the opposite this time.

If you’re referring to something that’s in the news/topical, I’m not aware of it.

Super Dave Osboune who always wore the asbestos racing suit and did very stupid stuff.

@Cruiser @FutureMemory Not really news item. Okay, it was on “Daily Show”, in maybe May2011. So good, ADDED: Interview by I can’t remember which correspondent, with one of the top bosses in Asbestos industry or government official.

@flo So…what is the answer to your question? Not sure I get the point of all this.

flo's avatar

@FutureMemory please ignore it if it means nothing.

HS @flo why qualify your Q as it means something now when your OP says whatever comes to mind??? Should this now go to General?

“I’m making these muffins asbestos I can!”

A comedian died from Asbestos?

@Cruiser HS means what? Anyway I don’t mind General, Social. Some of my OP’s have been directed to social. Never the reverse. But I don’t think it is that important enough.
I just thought whatever came to mind would coincide with the the episode I’m referring to. I thought Daily Show was popular. And people seem to remember everything they watch.

@redfeather good one!

@Michael_Huntington No death, of comedian anyway.

Aasif Mandvi of The Daily Show did a report on Asbestoes, Canada, and how they’re still making the deadly product.

flo's avatar

@MyNewtBoobs You got it. How did you get it? Did you have the date already, or…
What is the date and do you have the link?

MyNewtBoobs's avatar

@flo Because I remember who did it. You can watch it here. It’s the second result if you google “The Daily Show Asbestoes” minus the quotation marks.

zenvelo's avatar

@flo So next time why don’t you ask “anybody remember a Daily Show segment about Asbestos last month?”

flo's avatar

@MyNewtBoobs thanks you.
@zenvelo good point but I didn’t want it to be skipped if I worded it too similarly to another question
