He isn’t Jewish. His paternal grandfather was. I am glad he is not Jewish because we have Sarah Silverman and that is bad enough.
That’s precisely the reason I phrased it how I did.
I’d wager of white comedians probably 80% are Jewish
Silverman is really over the top.
Who knows how they really think....it’s career death not to toe the line
Very few of the comedians I grew up with weren’t Jewish and none were terribly political but very funny in delivery and without vulgarity or meanness or cruelty
Rickles of course
Benny
Bishop
Sahl......pretty lib actually
Youngman...he really was the king of one liners
Brooks
Caesar
I didn’t find Jerry Lewis funny....it’s like Bruce Springsteen..not Jewish...you have to be from there sorta...Lewis was unfunny to southerners
Joan Rivers of course...I liked her
George Burns
Stephen Wright a bit later I consider one of the funniest folks I ever saw
There are notable non Jewish white comedians who made quite a mark
Skelton
Winters
Williams
Martin
Today it’s not very funny any of it
