COMEDY TONIGHT!
Presented by Cindy Burns & Jim Taylor
The list of American Jewish comedians is impressive. TIME magazine had estimated that although in 1979 Jewish people made up only 3 percent of the American population, 80 percent of professional comics were Jewish.
Jewish contemporary comedians are at the very center of Jewish American humor. We will take a look at these extraordinary entertainers through the use of clips, jokes and anecdotes. Prepare to laugh and be enlightened!
