He has appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live,” "Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” "Last Call with Carson Daly,” "Down and Dirty with Jim Norton” and his own special, "COMEDY CENTRAL PRESENTS: ANTHONY JESELNIK.” He was featured in HBO"s U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in 2006 and Montreal’s Just For Laughs Festival in 2008 and 2010. Jeselnik was named one of Variety’s "10 Comics To Watch” in 2008 and he was featured on COMEDY CENTRAL’S HOT LIST as one of the hottest comics of 2009. Jeselnik was most recently a writer and performer on ”Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.”

Cannot wait to hear this! Good thing I only have to wait two weeks!

[Vercetti]

Great news! I'm a big fan and will check this out.

[Travesty.]

I think he's a great writer. I wonder if it'll be new stuff?

One of my favorite jokes by him goes: "When I graduated Highschool, I wanted to buy a motorcycle. And my Mom said no, because you see my uncle, he died on his motorcycle when he was 18, and I can just have his motorcycle'".

[CarolineEAnd]

So excited! This will be fabulous!

This really should be fantastic.

A few weeks ago, Anthony was nice enough to sit down with me to discuss the album and other things on my podcast CB Radio. Check it out.

Good damn, the 21st cant come soon enough. Anthony has quicklY become one of my favorite comics.

[mogate]

I was at one of the nights of the recording of this show and can't wait to relive what was a truly outstanding set. Only wish this came in physical form as well. I like tangible things.

[trenchmc]

Really excited for this. Between Hannibal and Benson my comedy jones should be eased for a bit.

[c.Bacon]

In.

I was at one of the tapings... it's pretty great.

Can't wait for this. Also if you're not following Anthony on Twitter you're missing out on a lot.

I'm quite disappointed that track is being left off. My favorite part of Werewolves and Lollipop's is listening to Patton deal with the heckler. The way Jeselnik handles this is so beautiful I can't stand it.

[mike]

Some people argue that it encourages hecklers, and at album recordings at that.

[davidlidsky]

Ninja bit = awesome. So excited to buy this album next week.
