You Had To Be There #101: Moshe Kasher

by | March 18th, 2013

This week, Sara and Nikki declassify the events surrounding last week's torrent of celebrity encounters, codenamed "Zero Dark Flirty". Comic Moshe Kasher (@moshekasher, The Champs podcast) barely makes it past MTV's team of New World Order security guards in time to plug his shows at Carolines with Natasha Leggero this very weekend and reminisce about his last barfight. Moshe, whose dark and hilarious memoir Kasher in the Rye was published last year, has been cutting his way through the jungle of the LA TV biz and he comes armed with tales of treacherous table-reads and wise words for tackling rampant self-doubt. The gang talks [...]

Todd Glass and Moshe Kasher's New Specials Are Now on Netflix Instant

by | October 26th, 2012

Netflix is dropping two new hour-long stand-up specials today, one from Todd Glass and another from Moshe Kasher. Both are available on streaming. Glass's special is creatively titled Todd Glass: Stand-Up Special, while Kasher's, Live in Oakland, sees the comedian returning to his hometown for the performance. Both specials were produced by New Wave Entertainment, the same folks behind Aziz Ansari and Jim Gaffigan's recent self-releases. Todd Glass and Moshe Kasher are two funny guys, and their specials will most certainly be worth your time and worth putting up with Netflix interrupting every two minutes to buffer.

Leaked 'Variety' Cover Reveals the 10 Comics to Watch for 2012

by | July 10th, 2012

Sarah Colonna tweeted this picture that reveals this year's Variety "10 Comics to Watch", probably because she was super excited to be featured. Also probably excited are: Jillian Bell, Kurt Braunohler, Rob Delaney, Lil Rel Howery, Jake & Amir, Moshe Kasher, Joe Mande, Rory Scovel, and Jessica Williams. Considering its track record, this is a big break for these young comedians. Last year's list included Rebel Wilson, Amy Schumer, Harris Wittels, Chris D'Elia, and Pete Holmes and they're doing all right. The issue doesn't officially get released until 7/25, so we won't know why each was picked until then. But it's probably because they're all funny and cool and [...]

Moshe Kasher on His Deaf and Jewish Parents

by | March 27th, 2012

Moshe Kasher performed on Conan last night to promote his new book Kasher in the Rye and to tell the world about the tragedy of growing up with parents who were both deaf and Jewish. He does do a good job at trying to "look deaf," I'll say that for him. Below, he takes a seat on the couch for some chhhhit-chhhhhat (that's the Hebrew pronunciation) about growing up in a Chhhhhasidic neighborchhhhood.
