Is laughter the best medicine? Ah, that age old question: Are the Jewish people funnier than everyone else? And if they are, why? If not, are they almost as funny as everyone else? The truth be told, over the last century, the Jewish people have become known for humor—and, perhaps, for a particular kind of humor -- Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks, Joan Rivers, Groucho Marks, Woody Allen, Sarah Silverman, Larry David, Nichols and May, Jerry Seinfeld and John Stewart are just a few names we recognize.

In his new book JEWISH COMEDY: A SERIOUS HISTORY, Jeremy Dauber, professor of Yiddish language, literature and culture at Columbia University explores, defines, and catalogs the history of Jewish humor, taking us on a smart and funny ride.
Laughter is the best medicine, Jewish comedy, life is a joke, an exploration of humor on Talkish, The Halli Casser-Jayne Show. For more information visit Halli Casser-Jayne dot com.
