Comedian Rabbi Bob Alper on How He Won the Joke With the Pope Contest

There's a reason why Sirius/XM Satellite Radio plays Rabbi Bob Alper's bits several times daily, often sandwiched between Bob Newhart and Jerry Seinfeld.

Bob's unique background - he's an ordained rabbi who served congregations for fourteen years and holds a doctorate from Princeton Theological Seminary - prepared him well for a twenty-seven year comedy career with wonderfully unique material presented in a way that's intelligent, sophisticated, and 100% clean.

Last month Rabbi Bob told an audience in central Florida about how he beat 4,000 competitors from 47 countries in winning a contest for a joke that Pope Francis would like when he visited the USA in 2015.

Here's the joke. Enjoy!
