Comedian Sarah Silverman Says There's No Christmas Without Jews

In an interview last week with Seth Meyers on his Late Night Show, comedian Sarah Silverman talked about her new TV series Santa Inc. and all the ways that many Jews have come together to create it.

The series, starring Seth Rogen as Santa Claus, airs on HBO Max starting December 2. 

In the interview, Silverman notes that every Christmas song you love was written by a Jewish composer. She also tosses out a few funny one-liners like "It's about the birth of the nicest Jewish boy ever", "Jews are disappointed that he became a Messiah and not a doctor" and "Elves are Jews because they can work on Christmas."

Throwback Thursday Chanukah Comedy Special: Jacob the Bar Mitzvah Boy Tells the Chanukah Story on Saturday Night Live

One of our favorite characters on Saturday Night Live is Jacob the Bar Mitzvah Boy, played to perfection by actress/comedian Vanessa Bayer.

Despite Seth Meyers’ best efforts, Jacob the Bar Mitzvah Boy (Vanessa Bayer) can’t break away from his prepared speech about the miracle of Hanukkah... which is almost as big a miracle as his mom leaving a sale empty-handed. 

This skit is from 2013, Vanessa's third year as a cast member.

With this video clip, we continue our funny Chanukah-themed videos and also add to our Throwback Thursday collection.

Enjoy!
