We've been following Elon Gold and posting some of his shtick on Jewish Humor Central for the last 12 years. 

 

Elon is an American comedian, television actor, writer and producer. He starred in the television series Stacked.  He also starred in the short-lived sitcom In-Laws. 

 

Known for his impressions, including those of Jeff Goldblum, Howard Stern and Jay Leno, Gold was a judge on the ABC celebrity impersonation competition series The Next Best Thing. Gold was also in the movie Cheaper by the Dozen as a cameraman from the Oprah Winfrey show.

Gold attended the Westchester Day School in Mamaroneck, NY and the Marsha Stern Talmudical Academy (MTA)/Yeshiva University High School for Boys in Manhattan, NY. He is a practicing orthodox Jew.

 

One of Elon's specialties is his attention to the idiosyncracies and peculiarities of languages. In this performance at the Comedy Cellar he explores the use of the term "non-Jew" and the ramifications of its extension to other situations.
