Jeb Corliss — who famously tried to base jump off the top of the Empire State Building back in 2006 — has got nothing on today’s twosome at the top. I believe we alternately labeled him the “Jumping Jackass” and “Jumping Jerk” in the Daily News.

MTA big Janno “It’s A Fair Question” Lieber grinned (!!) when asked about MTA service for Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce nuptials. Said he hopes celebs in for “this alleged event” will opt for subway, bus or commuter rail over being “stuck in traffic.” “We’re there for you, celebrities,” Lieber cracks.
