New York City hosts some of the most famous comedy clubs in the world. Whether it's Caroline's on Broadway, Dangerfied's, The Laugh Factory, or Comic Strip Live, Manhattan has no shortage of places to get a good chuckle. This week on "The Heyman Hustle", Paul Heyman's guest is not a person. It's a joke. Seriously. Heyman's Hustle this week is The Legendary Tale of The 3 Foots.

Paul Heyman Hustles The Legendary Tale of The 3 Foots

Known as the most difficult joke in the world to tell, The 3 Foots is a staple of the New York City comedy clubs because only the best comedians in the world can handle it.

"Heyman Hustle" Producer/Director Mitchell Stuart told Simon Rothstein of The Sun (UK): "This is really the episode that Executive Producers Peter Poon, Enid Stuart, and I have fought for. And I mean FOUGHT FOR. Literally. As in aggressively demanding... heatedly arguing... strategically challenging Paul to do a One Man Hustle.

He has wanted to center the show on the guests, but we've all been after him to do something like this since the first episode! Paul wouldn't do it, until we were all at a comedy club last week to catch a friend's set, and Paul got called out - so what we set to capture with multiple cameras is one single do-or-die take, sink or swim, in what's known to comedy insiders as the most difficult joke in the world to tell."

Heyman also does an impersonation of Gilbert Gottfried doing "The Aristocrats" joke. If you like comedy, this is one Hustle not to be missed! You can see "The Comedy Hustle" exclusively here.
