Who hasnt stole material? Im sure if we really look at it, we can tie all the late night shows back to Johnny Carson.

It's not that he's stolen material. Is that he was caught and still wouldn't admit it. It's one thing to model yourself after certain comedians. It's another to outright steal their jokes. Example. Dave Chapelle clearly modeled himself after Eddy Murphy( When he was funny) and Eddy Murphy in turn modeled himself after Richard Pryor. A lot of their jokes are similar in the sense that they deal with stereotypical black behavior. Carlos Mencia STOLE entire jokes from Bill Cosby and George Lopez(who is even funnier in Spanish). This is a well documented fact.

A buddy of mine used this the other day. He's an electrician and owns his own business. He was talking about how some customers try to jew him down on prices, and other aggravations of running his business. There aren't many Jews around here, so I know he was using this phrase as an idiom, not because he's a bigot. Plus, I know he's not a bigot.

What do you think of the phrase?

It ain't kosher

Did Johnny come up with this idea for a show and produce it? If not? We can thank whoever came up with the idea.
 
Two Frummers walking down the street, they find an pay packet, Moishe opens it, counts out $600 and burst into tears.

Why are you crying Moishe?

Look at the tax this goy payed :)

How do you get 6 million Jews in a compact car.

Two in the back, two in the front and the rest in the ashtrays.

Neither offends me, but I can see why they may.

Lenny Bruce was my hero
