Anonymous asked: What's your opinion on Anthony Jeselnik?

Honestly, I like him. Listen to his WTF episode. I came out of that with a totally new respect for him and the way he crafts his jokes — his life goal isn’t to just go around saying the most offensive shit possible with no thought to it; it’s to upend the way we think about “edgy” and “offensive” material and cross the line twice. He’s totally aware that his stage persona is a dark fucking douchebag, but from what I’ve gathered, that’s a persona and not the way he really thinks or behaves offstage. And honestly, I laugh at his stuff. His Twitter is one of my favorites. Sorry, errbody. He’s a talented dude and a really solid joke writer.
