"Bombing" is the thing most dreaded by comedians. To bomb is to totally and completely blow a performance, and every comedian has a bombing story, as evidenced by Jimmy Fallon's web series, "Worst I Ever Bombed," in which comedians tell their horror stories. "This is 40" director Judd Apatow's most horrible bomb happened when he was just starting out and involved another notable hilarious Jew, Jon Stewart. Watch below. J-Connection: Judd Apatow and Jon Stewart are both Jewish. …More

Over 20 British MPs wrote the Sunday Times yesterday, calling for an apology for the Bibi blood libel cartoon. [Commentator] Jewish divorce requests rose by 9 percent last year in Israel. [Arutz Sheva] A California patient who murdered his Orthodox Jewish doctor has been captured. [Jewish Press] Hitler's toilet is in new Jersey.

In a new sketch for “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Jimmy Kimmel asked celebrities to read mean tweets about themselves aloud, and two of our favorite Jews participated. Matisyahu and Larry King read less-than nice tweets about themselves to a camera, showing fans a more comedic side to them. First, King read a tweet from @aimeenancygrace that said, “Did you know that if you skinned Larry King & ironed out his leather, you could make enough coats to give 1 to every poor child in America?” He …More

Patti Smith’s rendition of the Van Morrison classic “Gloria” is the reason behind the name choice for Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard’s new baby. The family (Gyllenhaal and Sarsgaard also have a daughter, Ramona) welcomed Gloria in April, but they embraced her name long before her arrival. Gyllenhaal told Jimmy Fallon, "We thought of her name when we were at this concert that Patti Smith played at and she played Gloria and it was a couple of years ago and we thought, 'We'll name our …More

Women flock to Jason Segel. Well, at least, YouTube women do. Remember the battle of the YouTube ballads back in January? Well, not every female will fawn over “The Five-Year Engagement” star. In an appearance on Jimmy Fallon last week, Segel confessed to receiving some pretty official mail. “Everyone always asks me … ‘Who is the mother?’” Segel said. “Because it’s been almost eight years ‘How I Met Your Mother.’” “Every time on the …More

Just when you thought you couldn’t get enough Jon Lovitz … Only a week after rightfully going ballistic on Twitter about a group of teenage girls who pulled an anti-Semitic prank on his friend’s daughter, the former “Saturday Night Live” star shared a few choice words for President Barack Obama on his podcast yesterday. "This whole thing with Obama saying the rich don't pay their taxes is f**king bullshit," said Lovitz. "And I voted for the guy, and I'm a Democrat. What a f**king …More

This shouldn’t come as a surprise, but when you get three generations of “Saturday Night Live” together in one place, it’s pretty hilarious! Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg went on Jimmy Fallon’s talk show right after the Super Bowl to promote their new movie, “That’s My Boy,” even though the film won’t be coming out until June 15th. Hmm, we wonder if this promotional tour was more about getting free tickets to the big game than getting the word out about a …More

Judah Friedlander went on Jimmy Fallon's show this week to announce he was endorsing a presidential candidate dear to his heart: HIMSELF! The 30 Rock star then outlined his campaign platform, which includes karate kicks, invading North Dakota, and MANDATORY gay marriage. Watch the hilarious two-part interview below! J-Connection: Judah Friedlander is Jewish through his father, who was of Russian Jewish descent. Friedlander has a novelty hat for every situation, including Yom Kippur. …More

Last week, we called out Andy Samberg for forsaking his faith by wishing the audience a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year during his hilarious Digital Short. Well, we’re not gonna say that Andy Samberg is reading Jspace…but he is OBVIOUSLY reading Jspace. Why? Because this week, he made up for his transgression by repping hard for the Tribe during Jimmy Fallon’s opening monologue song. “What about a verse for the Jews?” he interrupts, while flanked by fellow J-connection Vanessa …More

First, she fights an elbow with her face and loses a tooth. Then she admits that she finds women intimidating when she’s on the prowl. Now she brazenly proclaims her Bieber fever. We’re not sure if we can take much more of this! The actress went to see “Never Say Never” as a joke. But the Biebester got the last laugh, by converting Wood and friends amidst tears and laughter. Wood gushes to Jimmy Fallon, “That was the greatest movie I’ve ever seen.” “I love …More

Shamed by his grade school essays about all the amazing things he used to do over the summer, Andy Samberg resolved to use the time off between “Saturday Night Live” seasons wisely. He went to the Emmys, participated in “Shark Week,” learned to tap dance, and went kiteboarding with Richard Branson … naked. Jealous? After the opening salutation of SNL last week, hosted by Alec Baldwin with musical guest Radiohead, Samberg discussed his time off on “Late Night with Jimmy …More
