The Jeslenik offensive: Stand-up vet Anthony Jeselnik has a "push the envelope" type show where he tries to find humor in child abduction,mass murders and people with cancer. -OK. This guy actually is funny,but I'm shocked at a lot of his stuff.
I wonder if some of these guys are some producers funny nephew. I have no idea how they hand out shows at Comedy Central.
speaking of Jewish guys that have new cutting-edge Comedy Central shows, you forgot the uber-logoed KROLL SHOW that features the bug-eyed Nick Kroll doing his thing on a video screen (like MC Hammer before him). Kroll is so on point and having his fingers on THE PULSE of society that I believe his show started off with a recurring-bit called "Sex in the City..... for guys" and then he dared to go forth and give us what nobody was asking for: Himself in drag as part of the "Pub-liz-ity" sketch that featured him and some chick playing two women named "Liz" who run a hollywood PR agency. That sketch was planned to be a breakout hit as I've seen it on no less than ~3 episodes i've caught during flippage, including a big cliffhanger-esque deal during the season/series(? plz?) finale.
But yeah, the other thing I've noticed is that Jeselnik's show is basically Chelsea Lately for guys, just without a weekly guest because it's not formally a talk show and beyond that whose PR agent thinks "OMFG we gotta get 'em on jeselnik to drive up those sales"?? Nobody.
Although, I will give Comedy Central and their evidently-endless array of Jewish guys one tacit sini-seal-of-approval: the burn with jeff ross is alright. Again, it goes and grabs the comedic/comedian panel that Chelsea Lately popularized, but at least it gets a few laughs, even if it's laughing @ the comedians who go out of their way to work their schtick as hard as they can (Dave Attell tried really really reaaaaalllllyyyy hard to be the coolest guy on the room, not to mention that they had some chick named Natasha something-n-oth)er on a couple'a times to basically be the robin and provide female guffaw laughs throughout all of the other standups' material. I think it's Natasha Luggero or something? Either way she was totally useless except to go out of her way to fake a belly laugh at everything said. Enhancement talent or something
