Of course he plays it on Curb, but does anyone know if he is in real life? Not that it matters, just curious.

I recall in an interview on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" Jeff saying(or verifying)that he actually had started out studying to be a rabbi.
I'm guessing it's kinda tough to become a rabbi if you're not Jewish.

I went to high school with him and he is definitely Jewish. I find that Rabbi stuff hard to believe seeing how he was a clown from day one. He was very funny even back then.
