When the announcer dropped the name “92nd Street Y Tribeca” in the Jew-centric Juno spoof above, I thought it was another Jewish joke. But it’s actually a real place, where Daily Show writer Rob Kutner is throwing a party for Purim this weekend, featuring “a comedic retelling of the story of Esther, as seen through the lens of current TV hits like Lost, American Idol and Ugly Betty.” The invite doesn’t say whether or not Jewno will be screened in its entirety at the event, or (maybe better) if it’ll be performed live––the teaser is just attached as some kind of sampling of the self-mocking New York’s finest young Semitic comedy writers will have on offer Saturday night.
