Just what is Jewish humor? Is it the nice-but-clueless-guy-making-his-way-in-the-world humor of Woody Allen or Jerry Seinfeld? Could it be the loveable character roles of Sid Caesar, the charming boyish humor of Adam Sandler, or the wacky-to-the-extreme portrayals concocted by Sacha Baron Cohen? Laugh with Norman's latest book, Jewish Comedy Stars, as he looks at the impact of Jewish comedians on the American comedy scene.
