What is Jewish Humor? Ricky Gervais Meets Larry David
What is Jewish humor? Many books and articles have addressed the subject, and there are as many answers as people expressing their opinions.
The subject was revisited in 2006 when Larry David of Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm fame, sat down for an interview with Ricky Gervais, the British comedian, creator and star of The Office.
The two comedians exchanged views and showed short video clips of funny Jewish situations featuring Woody Allen, Joan Rivers, Jackie Mason, and Lenny Bruce.
Here's a clip from the interview. Enjoy!
