Let’s see if laughter solves this one.

Morning host Gregg Giannotti injected some humor into WFAN’s war with MSG chairman James Dolan on his Tuesday show with Boomer Esiason.

“This started with a song — ‘I Should Have Known’ — so I am going to end it with a song and maybe I can speak to James Dolan,” the morning-show host joked, announcing the name of the tune as “J.D., Listen to Me.”

The feud, as first reported by The Post’s Andrew Marchand, centers around afternoon host Maggie Gray’s rant from this summer over Dolan’s song about the #MeToo movement that was motivated by friend and movie producer Harvey Weinstein, who is accused of sexually assaulting and harassing multiple actresses.

Dolan exacted his revenge for being called a “vile piece of trash” by banning Rangers and Knicks personalities from WFAN shows and severing all corporate ties with the station’s parent company, Entercom.

“J.D. stop being a baby, no one heard what Maggie, said it was on ‘CMB,’” Giannotti crooned, poking fun at Dolan, and Gray’s show.

“Yeah, she called you names but that’s nothing strange. No one says nice things about you unless they are getting paid. So, J.D., relax and let us back before (WFAN vice president of programming) Mark Chernoff has a heart attack.”

This was a decidedly more light-hearted tone than Mike Francesa took on Monday. Francesa decided to use the subject as a reason to chastise Gray and defend Dolan, while placing some of the blame on MSG’s PR team. Francesa also said it has been “uncomfortable” since he returned to WFAN following his abbreviated retirement at the start of the year. Gray, Chris Carlin and Bart Scott replaced Francesa in the afternoon and their show was shortened upon Francesa’s return.

Esiason disputed the “uncomfortable” claim before Giannotti’s song.

“I don’t know what figment of imagination Mike was talking about with this place being awkward, this place is great,” Esiason said. “We have a lot of weird people here, which makes it that much better to work here, and there’s a lot of storylines going on behind the scenes, but that’s part of the fun about being here.”
