Sam Hoffman and Eric Spiegelman: Old Jews Telling Jokes September 29, 2010

Laugh it up with Sam Hoffman (producer, director, and assistant director of films including The Royal Tenenbaums, School of Rock, Dead Man Walking, Groundhog Day, and Curse of the Jade Scorpion) and Eric Spiegelman, founder of Jetpack Media, as they share tales from Old Jews Telling Jokes, based on the enormously popular website of the same name (OldJewsTellingJokes.com). The jokes themselves—some new, some classics, some twists on old favorites—have become time capsules, revealing and celebrating the highs and lows of all aspects of life. Collectively, these jokes trace the trajectory of the Jewish experience in America. A book signing follows the program.
