Here are some ways people have described Anthony Jeselnik:
“Jeselnik… has rapidly emerged as the Satanic prince of stand-up, a black-hearted joke-slinger with a ferocious and unstoppable will to power.” --Nathan Rabin, Head Writer--A.V. Club
“…a bad man.” –Conan O’Brien
“I’m Anthony Jeselnik, get the fuck out of my way.
Look at me, I’ve got really good hair, I’m better than you in every way.
Not only am I funny, but I’ve got really good hair.
If comedy didn’t work out for me, I could be a hair model.
Go fuck yourself, move out of the way, I’m looking for the stairs to the stage.” –Sung by Todd Glass
