‘The Fat Jew’ Josh Ostrovsky gets roasted on social media for stealing comedians jokes

And so it is upon us, the day where social media actually does something good. Josh Ostrovsky, AKA “The Fat Jew” has been absolutely demoralized the past couple of days on social media for stealing jokes online and taking credit for them. Ostrovksy, a 30 year old Jewish man who grew up on the upper west side of Manhattan, has been one of the largest instagram and twitter personalities on the planet due to his funny pictures, memes and gifs. Now it is coming to fruition that his content is merely regurgitated form other funny comics, and he is now paying the price for it. Comedy Central has announced they dropped their deal with him after half the internet chastised him for stealing. Seamless soon followed Comedy Central by stating that they have no further plans to work with him. read more

Stephen Colbert ditched his alter ego, and funny guy routine, to wish fellow late night host Jon Stewart a heartfelt goodbye this week.

In his surprise appearance on the last episode of The Daily Show, Colbert did manage to make us laugh, kicking off the segment by comparing Stewart’s Daily Show journey to Colbert’s beloved Lord of the Rings: “Like Frodo, you are leaving us on a voyage to the undying lands … For 16 years, you and your basic cable fellowship of funny, clutched that ring of power and trudged up the steep slopes of mt. doom”. read more

Stephen Colbert stepped down from the Captain’s Chair at Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report in December of 2015. To say that his show’s finale was a star-studded event would be the understatement of the century. Take a quick look below!

Today, nearly 8 months later, we’ve been treated to a new side of Stephen. Or, more accurately, a new style; growing a fierce beard and taking time to engage with fellow comedians (like his appearance on Jerry Seinfeld’s Crackle series “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee”). The moment almost arrived where Stephen was ready to shave the Colbeard, but alas, it was too soon. read more

Jon Stewart, host of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show w/ Jon Stewart, is set to hand over the reins to Trevor Noah on August 6. As his 16 years at the helm of Comedy Central’s primetime hit comes to a close, it’s clear that Jon is letting himself explore areas of his career that were largely ignored for some time.

This was the case when he visited The Comedy Cellar, a premier locale for NYC comedy fans, on Wednesday night. Accompanied to the club by Rory Albanese, current Producer of Comedy Central’s The Nightly Show, and former Producer of The Daily Show, Jon surprisingly made his way onto the stage for a 10 minute stand-up set. read more

A joke is a joke, it must not be taken seriously, yet in case it offends someone, one must take the responsibility.

Amy Schumer is a stand-up comedian who is known for her humor wherever she goes. Her good humor can be seen in the Comedy Central show “Inside Amy Schumer”, in “the Bachelorette”, and become the cover of numerous magazines. Her name usually conquers the twitter and Facebook page due to her viral comedy skits.

But her current success wasn’t that easy. Before people recognize her humor and laugh on her jokes, the journey she gone through was also full of ups and downs, especially those days when she was still young. Schumer grew up in Long Island with her younger sister and one older brother. read more

Following Jon Stewart’s departure announcement on  February 10, 2015,  Comedy Central gave the official  word  on Monday (March 30, 2015) that  Trevor Noah  would be  taking over as host for The Daily Show. Jon  Stewart has  been credited with not only developing a  top-rated show  in a tough times a lot,  but creating the  category itself.  Sure, Saturday Night Live has done their  “Weekend  Update” for a number of years, but there hadn’t been a dedicated  satirical news show prior to Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show along with its sister program The Colbert Report. So, to say that Trevor Noah has some big shoes to fill would be an absolute understatement. read more
