"Carson Daly has apologized for a joke he told about this week&amp;#039;s JetBlue mid-air crisis. The Voice host was speaking on his radio show about the JetBlue pilot who had to be restrained by passengers when he suffered a mental breakdown in the middle of a flight to Las Vegas. &amp;quot;On this particular flight, most of the people were on their way to some sort of security conference in Las Vegas... so it was a bunch of dudes, and well-trained dudes,&amp;quot; Daly said. The host then made his controversial remarks, saying: &amp;quot;If that were me... with my luck, it would be like, &amp;#039;This is the flight going to the [gay] pride parade in San Francisco\u00E2\u20AC\u00A6 Uh, we&amp;#039;re headed down to Vegas for the floral convention&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; Daly&amp;#039;s comments prompted an outcry of complaints on social media, forcing the presenter to issue an apology on Twitter. &amp;quot;This morning on my radio show I attempted to make fun of myself &amp;amp; offended others by mistake. I sincerely apologize,&amp;quot; the star wrote. Daly went on to apologize further for insulting the LGBT community in a press statement. He said: &amp;quot;We live in a time where gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals find courage every day to overcome adversity, stand up to bullying and find equality. I&amp;#039;m truly saddened that my words today suggested otherwise &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve long been a supporter of gay and lesbian rights, and I&amp;#039;m saddened that my comments, however unintentional, offended anyone, specifically members of the LGBT community. The fact that I have hurt anyone is devastating. I&amp;#039;m not that guy. I&amp;#039;m proud to be an ally of the LGBT community and will continue to fight with them.&amp;quot; The pilot at the center of this controversy has been suspended by JetBlue and charged with the federal crime of interfering with a flight crew. &amp;gt; The Voice&amp;#039;s Justin Hopkins: &amp;#039;Carson Daly support is great&amp;#039; &amp;gt; The Voice host Carson Daly: &amp;#039;I have no rivalry with Ryan Seacrest&amp;#039; Listen to Carson Daly&amp;#039;s controversial comments below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
