The Jewish stuff is tricky. You almost have to be Woody Allen, or someone in the music industry doing a cynical shtick, to pull that off. Noah's Jewish material is pretty flat and nasty. Also, he's too attractive to get away with disparaging material. Comedians have to be self deprecating and almost pathetic to do that material really well. Or they have to have killer delivery. Noah looks too much like an actual newscaster.
Lisa Lampanelli does nasty racial material, but she's such a mess, I can't get offended. The woman is a true train wreck. Chelsea Handler did Jewish and Black jokes all the time. But she was so clearly phoning it in, and so dead in the eyes from a mix of street and pharma chemicals, you just figured it was canned material on cue cards authored by hack writers who couldn't discern offensive from clever.
