“So Jewtastic!,” a one-hour paean to all things Jewish, will premiere Monday, Dec. 19 at 8pm.
Further clarifying the new cultural truth that being Jewish is the hippest thing ever (omig-d! All those Cossacks and Nazis were like so wrong!), the show “will cover the trendy rise of Kabbalah, the new hip Jews in Hollywood, the marriage of Jews and hip hop, the connection between Jews and Heavy Metal and the domination of Jews in comedy. As a bonus, Jackie Mason schools the goyim on Yiddish terms that rock.
Here’s to hoping it won’t be like one of those VH-1 “Behind the Band” specials about drug-addled rock stars dredging up their careers for a comeback that Jackie keeps that defending Xmas crap to himself.
VH1 has been kicking MTV’s ass lately. Even tho they have the same parent company… that’s why MTV had to snatch up VH1’s big cheese for programming. I’m already going to set up the TIVO for this one!
Look for Simmy Kay, the Brother of Kvetch, as one of the talking heads…
