In this thread, Dave (Brit who still claims he is not anti-Semitic) is
the first one to mention anything Jewish:

Dave, does the same hold true for Woody Allen, Mel Brooks, Lenny
Bruce, Sid Caesar, George Burns, Milton Berle, Don Rickles, Red
Buttons, Jerry Lewis, Jerry Seinfeld, Joan Rivers, Jack Benny, The
Marx Brothers, and all the other legendary Jewish comedians who
changed the face of American humor? Remember, nobody does "the funny"
better than the Jews! eh We have someone for every comedic taste. So
it's quite unfair of you to focus on one or two Jewish comedians.
Howard Stern earns $500M making doo-dee jokes, so it can't all be that
bad! ehe DOH! eh P.S. Peter Seller's mum was Jewish! eh -D, NYC "In
1979, Time Magazine estimated that whereas Jews made up only 3% of the
American population, fully 80% of professional comedians were Jewish"
- THE HAUNTED SMILE: The Story of Jewish Comedians In America By
Lawrence J. Epstein.."Comedians/Entertainers: American humor -
theatre, film, television - would have lost much of its punch without
Groucho, Chico, and Harpo Marx, Milton Berle, Fanny Brice, George
Burns, Sid Caesar, Eddie Cantor, Judy Holliday, Zero Mostel, Henny
Youngman, and even yes, The Three Stooges (Larry Fine, Moe Horwitz,
and Jerome "Curly" Horwitz). The tradition continued with New York
natives Danny Kaye and Phil Silvers in the 1950s & '60s. Woody Allen
and Mel Brooks in the '70s & '80s, and Jerry Seinfeld in the '90s" -
