Comedian: Pope meeting was for 'my spot in heaven'
The Pope has said it is ok to "laugh at God" in the same way that we joke with loved ones. And to demonstrate his point, he hosted a meeting with some of the world's best known comedians including Whoopi Goldberg, Chris Rock and Jimmy Fallon.
Newshour's Paul Henley has been speaking to the German comedian Michael Mittermeier who explained how he managed to get the Pope to laugh.
