we all know about the great Jewish contributions to society throughout history, but much like anything on VH1, it wouldn't be complete without a top ten list. so... over the next few weeks i'd like to put together a list of the top jews... ever! it would end up looking something like this bracket on the side where, much like the NCAA basketball tournament, eventually we will find the ultimate #1 Jew.Jewish contributions will include politics, science, religion, sports, comedy, entertainment, business, literature, etc.
let's kick things off with jews in comedy (not in order):
- Jerry Seinfeld
- Woody Allen
- David Cross
- Larry David
- Christopher Guest
- Sascha Baron Cohen
- John Stewart
- Sarah Silverman
- Lenny Bruce
- Andy Kaufman
there are tons i'm forgetting. feel free to contribute...
