Anthony Jeselnik has a beef with Leslie Jones

Short version: Leslie made a surprise appearance at a comedy venue, asked to go on before Jeselnik, went way over her allotted time and said she couldn't introduce him with "enthusiasm."

Jeselnik gave the club back his fee and left.

Apparently the two have history.

I don't think I've seen Anthony Jeselnik with a beard. Almost cancels out the fact that he dated Amy Schumer.

I wouldn't have returned the fee if I was him. And if I was in the audience and had paid to see Jeselnik, I would have demanded my money back.

Who really cares? Let them work it out.

[quote]I wouldn't have returned the fee if I was him. And if I was in the audience and had paid to see Jeselnik, I would have demanded my money back.

It sounds like he expected the venue to refund tickets.

Still, I think the better solution would be to go on, apologize for being late, and explain to the audience what happened in his sardonic style.

I'm trying to determine who I could give LESS of a fuck about between these two.

I still confuse him with Dane Cook.

What is their history of drama?

Leslie Jones ruins EVERYTHING! Not that SNL has gotten considerable better since she left, but it’s a relief not to have her wonder into a skit anymore, and obviously SNL has shit to work out beyond her, but getting rid of Kyle Moonie would be a start.

He is so visibly disturbed. It makes you understand why people think comedians are crazy

i wish he'd discuss being gay in his act. He's such a great talent and he walls off even playing in the human experience stuff. meanwhile, he's been on grindr for like 5 yrs now.

r12 that's his stage persona. IRL he's not a bad guy at all.

[quote]meanwhile, he's been on grindr for like 5 yrs now.

Really?

I would suck him dry and swallow every drop down my hungry throat.

I still can't get over the fact that Leslie Jones is not a MTF.

Not even Bea Arthur ever seemed as masculine. Not even Linda Tripp!

Jeselnik used to be great on the comedy central roasts. He delivered those insults like they were poetry.

From the article:

[quote]He thinks the bad blood may have started at LA’s Comedy Store when Jeselnik refused to give up his stage time when they asked for it.

It sounds like he thinks she's angry at him for something that happened years before.

But based on his act, I feel like he is likely a deeply disturbed person, (more so than most comics) so I'm going to side with Leslie here.

His act is just that - an act. He's not like that offstage.

When you have a set stage time and the person ahead of you goes over, it's rude and inconsiderate. That's a big faux pas in live performance work.

That's a big deal with comedians. I remember reading some comic talk about how he opened for Joan Rivers and he went a few minutes over. She was ok with it but the club owners lacerated him.

[quote]His act is just that - an act. He's not like that offstage.

He's not an actor reading someone else's lines. Those are his lines. He wrote them. He came up with them and I think he's great at it but I still wouldn't f*ck with him.

If his mind has the ability to come up with it, there's something going on there.

A person of color acting without class?

Ground breaking.

He's got bdf. Any leaks? Verificatia of sizemeat?

There have to be stories or pics if he's on Grindr

r24 it's a persona. He's essentially telling stories. Do you think Stephen King is really a psychopath? Or Anne Rice?

She has to be the most talentless person who works in entertainment today. There is absolutely nothing funny about her. Her hosting the updated "Supermarket Sweep" was probably the worst performance I ever saw.

Comedians fighting over stage time? Unstable people with beefs?

Get. OUT!

Also, plz provide pics. TIA!

I love Leslie Jones. I never got how Anthony was considered funny.

She is much funnier than Anthony Jeselnik, but that's not a cool thing to do.

I also think he's in the closet.

Who could love Leslie Jones? She's vulgar and not the least bit funny. Moronic on talk shows as well.

[quote] Still, I think the better solution would be to go on, apologize for being late, and explain to the audience what happened in his sardonic style.

You need some semblance of wit and ambition to do that, though.

Any nudes? Shirtless pics???

Anthony, of course.... not the she-beast.

No shirtless pics. Nothing. The least you'll find is him in a t-shirt.

People who have no understanding of the nature of standup as performance art where transgressive themes are considered by the best comedians to offer unique observations and audience experiences have no business passing judgment on the field.

And Jeselnik Is straight, alas.

I didn’t read the whole post, but can someone give me the Reader’s Digest 411 on why this gay boy is interested in the ugly tranny’s beef curtains?

If I had been him, I would have introduced myself, told the audience exactly what just happened, and then proceeded to roast that loud, unfunny cow.

I’m not saying he is or he isn’t, but the only place I’ve seen him referred to as gay is here.

I had a three way with him and John Goodman in 2008, r43!!!

I cannot figure out what r40 is trying to say.

I'm equally baffled, r45. But it sounds like it was meant to be dripping with wisdom.

[quote]And Jeselnik Is straight, alas.

No he is not.

[quote]Do you think Stephen King is really a psychopath? Or Anne Rice?

R29 Maybe not psychopaths but definitely sociopaths. Stephen King once commented that if he couldn't write his stories, he'd probably be committing horrific crimes.

And r48 actually thinks King was serious.

Can you really have a feud if nobody cares but you and the fool you're fighting with? What if nobody gives a fuck except to two of you?

Is that a beef? Or is it just pique?

I wish comedy sketch shows like "In Living Color" were still around; Leslie Jones would deliver a spot-on sendup of MSNBC's Joy Reid.

Like others here, I don’t believe he’s gay. This is the only place where we can live that fantasy, alas.

Besides, if he was gay there would be evidence. There isn’t any.

I just hope he doesn’t start eating his feelings. That’s a long head that would get very fat - Ted Kennedy/ Matt Gaetz level fatness.

It's known in the comedy world that Jeselnik is gay. I know people in that world in LA and he's def. gay. Likes mutual JO.

Oh just fuck you two and get it over with.

[quote]Leslie Jones would deliver a spot-on sendup of MSNBC's Joy Reid.

Leslie Jones is a shitty impersonator. On SNL, she was never close. Just always her own loud self.

This seems to be a common enough kind of beef between comics, you hear about this stuff all the time on documentaries, but it's still shitty and I thought Jones was above this kind of petty shit.

[quote]“Leslie Jones [was] a surprise guest in the middle [of the show]. She does some material for the first 15 minutes, big red light comes on [to signal the end of her time], then she just starts doing crowd work for the next 25 minutes.”

Also, with her refusing to introduce him, it means he won't get to go on next, someone else has to go on, someone she can "introduce enthusiastically," and THEN he goes on, making him go on at least an hour after his scheduled time.

The comedy venue shouldn't have allowed this, they wanted a big name so they let themselves become part of some interpersonal drama.

[quote]Do you think Stephen King is really a psychopath? Or Anne Rice?

[quote]Maybe not psychopaths but definitely sociopaths. Stephen King once commented that if he couldn't write his stories, he'd probably be committing horrific crimes.

R48, And Anne Rice is an admitted alcoholic who had a nasty case of OCD. Then when she went through a born again religion phase her books started getting really weird. She's also suffered a lot of loss in her life.

Point is, she's great at writing about dark things because she understands it.

r60, are you on the right thread?

[quote] I wish comedy sketch shows like "In Living Color" were still around; Leslie Jones would deliver a spot-on sendup of MSNBC's Joy Reid.

Yes, if only sketch shows were still around. Remember that one, I think it was called Saturday Night Live? Boy, I sure wish Leslie Jones would have been on that.

What the hell does Ann Rice have to do with this thread? Is Anthony fucking Christopher?

The problem Anthony Jeselnik has is that while he is smarter and funnier than Leslie Jones, she is a bigger, ur, name right now. So any comedy club is going to let her get away with this. They'd rather have her than him.

That reality is what he really resents.

She's also a black female who would demonstrate that the club is not racist or sexist.

[quote]When you have a set stage time and the person ahead of you goes over, it's rude and inconsiderate. That's a big faux pas in live performance work.

Eddie Murphy recently told an anecdote on Seth Meyers (at 6:15) about a dust-up at the Comedy Store when he wouldn't get off-stage which bit into John Witherspoon and Paul Mooney's set.

I am sure the club let her go on because they know she has a habit of very publicly crying racism when she doesn’t get her way. I am sure that’s the same reason Anthony didn’t make a bigger issue or try to crack jokes about it.

His stand up special on Netflix - Thoughts and Prayers - is one of my favorites and still makes me laugh on repeated viewings.

R62: I consider SNL to be anything but a sketch show when compared to a quality showcase like "In Living Color," but I respect your and your lonely self's right to the quiet enjoyment of your dismal Saturday night viewing fare.

Well, we don't live in a world where your opinion trumps fact, R68. Also, you said nothing about quality in your post, you actually said "I wish comedy sketch shows like In Living Color were still around." They are. And Leslie Jones appeared on one for many years.

You may not consider them comparable, but the rest of the world does. That's where I live.

So take your snide attitude and jam it up your cunt. Thanks.

R68, In Living Color was way better in it's prime that SNL. Literally LOL for reals.

R70 "Literally LOL for reals."

Learn English.

I like Leslie but what r21 said is correct. Comedians musicians, etc it all applies, you do not go over your set time

How bad can a guy who has an Insta for his rescue dog be?

Real comics eat rescue dogs as a late night snack.

R71, How about you go die in a grease fire bitch? I will push your ass in to make it more comfortable.

I think Jeselnik's girlfriend is all over that rescue dog IG.

Maybe 5 years ago when I first saw him on Grindr he was hiding his face. Like wearing a mask or something (you could see top half of face--i knew it was him). it was odd in the age before everyone was wearing masks but then again, there have always been "discreet" guys on grindr.....I said hi and got no response. It didnt even occur to me it was fake because someone using his photo would have just used a face photo--here the face was obscured. About 30 seconds of internet sleuthing showed the profile matched him. And then because I had sent a message, I could continue to see the profile's distance as it bounced around the country over the next week or so. At the time I had no idea he was gay. This is before Amy Schumer publicly discussed an ex coming out of the closet.

At a later point he updated his profile and was showing his face. Cant remember if I just never deleted the message or if I just saw his profile again. He's not closeted. Good for him.

I love when people put details up here and even though i respect privacy, his profile was super tame so I dont see a problem with sharing. It basically said no drugs and he was just looking to hang out and see where it goes kinda thing....

Daring Amy Miss Piggy’s uglier cousin Shumer will turn anyone gay. I love cock but let me tell you I’d cut mine off if the last person on earth was me and her and to save mankind I had to somehow get hard for her roast beef cunt. Earth be doomed, she’s too heinous.

R78 what is your native language?

[quote] How bad can a guy who has an Insta for his rescue dog be?

Is it a rescue dog?

Anthony Jeselnik’s comedy is so slowww.

Jeselnik is the best of the best when it comes to the craft of standup. Smart, extremely careful, perfectly tuned timing, willing to play villain, and extremely popular with other comedians committed to doing it right.

Jones is known for being a loud, sloppy mess who is always on a personal campaign for herself, period, humor aside.

Anthony is a DL'er. Hi Tony!

Leslie Jones is known to be a whiny bitch. Her twitter feed often has tweets where she bitches about various companies, restaurants, airlines etc. A couple of years ago, she bitched about some restaurant in Atlanta giving her poor service. The restaurant responded and said that Jones had fun of a foreign born waiter's accent.

Jones will have a downfall at some point when she fucks with the wrong person or company and they turn the tables on her.

[quote]So take your snide attitude and jam it up your cunt.

When did Dataloungers get so sensitive? Mildly tease someone or disagree with them and their feelings get so hurt they start shrieking "jam it up your cunt." Sometimes it's someone trying too hard to start a fight (you'll see them reply multiple times when they don't get a response, or even log in with a second account and try again) but usually it just seems like some thin-skinned whiners going overboard.

Things aren't going well in NYC, R87.

The beard really helps him. Much more than I would have thought.

That's a delightful sentiment, dear. Jam it up your cunt.

Someone earlier mentioned Dane Cook compared to Jeselnik.

Dane Cook makes Carrot Top's Stand up act look like Lenny Bruce.

Leslie is loud and pushy. It's annoying.

R93 I agree. I wouldn't be surprised if she was a diva bitch at SNL.

He has a rescue dog from a Korean meat factory!?! That dog is adorable and I love his one scraggly tooth.

r86 Its wild people think Jeselnik would need to share nudes to meet up. Once a celeb starts with their face, you cant expect them to send nudes.

[quote]In Living Color was way better in it's prime that SNL. Literally LOL for reals.

Honey, "In Living Color" was not live. They had plenty of time to get it right, not a great comparison. I want to know where the "In Living Color, The Movie" is. What are the Wayans doing? I can't believe Peacock or Netflix or any other streamer wouldn't go for it and I'd hope Jamie Foxx and Jim Carrey might want to visit their iconic characters again.

The payoff to this story is rather amusing in light of what some are suggesting in this thread.

From 1:04:36

I'm skeptical about that. Gays love to gossip (and screenshot). Surely we'd have his profile pics?

Anthony Jeselnik is not a fag, AND I'M THE DAME WHO CAN PROVE IT!

A rather unfunny riff on a "Covid Vaccine Will Make You Gay" headline.

Is she a lesbian? I get that vibe.

Leslie? No. Very dick hungry. Even does anal.

[quote] You may not consider them comparable, but the rest of the world does. That's where I live.

SNL can’t hold In Living Color’s jockstrap

I want to see Anthony’s beef! Or at the very least cake!

[Quote] Once a celeb starts with their face, you cant expect them to send nudes.

Quinto did. And the Grindr queen who received them even shared Quinto's address on Twitter.

Quinto's dick, for reference purposes.

[quote]Persistent lack of pronoun use in response to a "Do you think you'll get married?" question.

Hmm. I was very skeptical of the gay rumors, but the questioner specifically asked if he could see himself with a "Mrs. Anthony Jeselnik," and Jeselnik gave a very long thoughtful answer ... as r111 pointed out, specifically avoiding pronouns, but also describing what a late-in-life gay male relationship might resemble rather than a hetero relationship.

Yeah R114. And she’s clearly ghetto. So what’s your point?

Jeselnik had a public beef with Tim Dillon recently. I’m not sure what it was about. But Jeselnik wanted assert his woke bona fides, and Tim Dillon is not particular woke.

By the way, Tim Dillon is an out homosexual and is easily the funniest comedy podcast host currently in existence.

Jesus Christ I can’t type for shit. You get the idea.

I haven't heard of either of them, but I'd love to see them fight to the death. My money is on the butch black lady with the big tits.

Come on you have to be at least a little curious.

Well, that real penis was a surprise r119.

I'm not clicking on that link, can someone describe the picture?

Naked pics of Leslie Jones. She's getting fucked in the ass in one of them. No joke.

[quote] can someone describe the picture?

No one should have to.

I can't believe he actually stuck his dick in Amy Schumer. Good lord.

Morevover, r113, earlier in the podcast he talks about times and places in history he might liked to have lived, He mentions New York in 1980s and early 1990s as an attractive "noirish" prospect except for the AIDS epidemic (after the 15 minute mark). Then he goes on to assert that in Roman times "no one cared about race or sexuality." (16:20). Whatever his sexuality, he does seem to be angling for a different, more evolved audience.

May as well bring out the crucifix. No one is going to side with her. And they’re going to insult her.

Beas Armstrong is a fucking honky

From "My So Called Life"?

R129 Lol yes but typo and wrong thread.

I think his window might've passed, he's not going to get any bigger than he is right now.

I wouldn't mind a slurp on his cock..

Team Leslie. Pity the fools who aren't.

*shrug*

[quote]I love cock but let me tell you I’d cut mine off if the last person on earth was me and her and to save mankind I had to somehow get hard for her roast beef cunt.

I'm pretty sure she doesn't care that an anonymous, bitter gay wouldn't want to have sex with her in your ridiculous imagined hypothetical.

I'm plenty sure there are many who wouldn't want your cock in a similar scenario.

so annoying. i explained he was on Grindr, first obscuring his face and later NOT obscuring it...I explained how I followed the profile (partially out of curiosity) as it bounced around the country. Amy Schumer went on TV and talked about finding out her ex was gay and how upsetting it was (and has never said "It's not Anthony" which she would have if it wasn't him but it is.....

but go ahead and keep reading tea leaves....

He's gay, not closeted in his personal life (guess the term from 15 yrs ago was glass closeted) and by not coming out publicly, his act has suffered because he's not talking about real life, it's just intricately worded shock jokes.

Did he have nudes on Grindr?

He has a big bro fanbase, so must think that coming out would hurt his career.

Screenshots are so easy to take.

What's annoying about people looking for more confirmation? "I saw X on Grindr" isn't terribly compelling.

On his podcast, they take questions from listeners. One of the questioners asked if he knew that his podcast producer was gay when they talked about her romantic breakup on the podcast.

(I knew she was a soft butch by her attempt at putting on make up.)

[Quote] by not coming out publicly, his act has suffered because he's not talking about real life, it's just intricately worded shock jokes.

But jokes with a twist are his stock-in-trade. He's mentioned that he's been trying to work stories about his dog into his act but audiences remain unamused.

In the answer to the marriage question, he makes it very clear that he's not looking for a sugar type relationship. GermanGayGuy will be devastated.

I’d sample Anthony’s beef.

These bitches wouldn't put you off?

He reminds me of a young Martin Laundau.

Is that a... leather harness?

He can be a Slovenian whore with me. I'll take good care of that mouth and hole.

Someone upthread says he only likes JO.

Maybe oral too we don’t know?

While riffing on sex at the Olympic village, he corrects himself when he says "cowboy" [style] instead of "cowgirl."

Since lockdown I have watched/listened to a lot of podcasts and videos of comedians. It's a really dick move to do something like this.

I bet the audience was pissed too. Leslie's a braying jackass

Did he get some work done?

Leslie Jones has thick, juicy beef curtains.

If he is, now would be the perfect time to come out…

Such a relevant parody tweet in the age of COVID.

I've always assumed he's gay. He's just got the look. I never know what to think about Leslie. She's rather scary.

Leslie Jones has thick, juicy beef curtains.

No I'm sure it's more like a big juicy jumbo sausage. Hi

I never thought much of him but just watched his 2 specials on Netflix and although his jokes are fake, I can't remember another standup special that I laughed more at. Gives either of them a try for 20 minutes. His humor is very DL.

In his interview with Larry King he sounded excited and said something like "She let me have sex with her!" when asked about Amy Schumer.

Is Leslie Jones a male or female? I always thought it was a male to female tranny. It was too masculine to be female.

r180 Shame we don't have tags on here like reddit, where people need to state their age/gender on some boards when replying. Really brings their comments into context.

No straight mama would get hard for Amy Pig Faced Schumer.

R181 While we're wishing for things, if only you weren't a stupid delusional fraucunt with an inferior brain.

Hey, R181, so go back to reddit.

Please.

Although I agree in principle. Just demonstrating why the DL is different, bitch.

Jones has been doing the same thing at other clubs lately. She's a stage hog and is playing some sort of fat-black-woman-power game, as if breaking show business rules of equity gets her some sort of standing.

Some people are more equal than others, it seems.

Whatever species or sex Jones is, it is no doubt the ugliest thing in the history of time. How it got any work is way beyond good taste and common decency.

I see no reason to bring gender into it but I will say jones is one of the ugliest celebrities out there today. Absolutely nothing going for her except height.

Is it possibe that Jeselnik is dating a nonbinary person? I don't see the point of using no pronoun other than "they," as he does.

I think he"s so fucking cute. But the fact that he dipped his dick in Amy Schumer, is a complete turnoff.

It's pretty clear in his podcast that his best friend thinks that Jeselnik has a drinking problem. Btw, Jeselnik revealed that he only began therapy at 35, which lines up with the split from Amy Schumer.

Since he's grown the beard, I find him physically attractive. I find him very funny. However, like most comedians, probably a very damaged person.

He's making spoof videos with fat women.

Is Leslie Jones actually funny when she's doing her standup routine? She definitely isn't when she's on TV or in movies.

He's HOT and she looks like she escaped from the zoo. He wins hands down.

[Quote] CO-HOST: There's a lot of crossover listenership... You think it's all just women who think you're hot or whatever...

[Quote] JESELNIK: It's a lot of guys who think I'm hot too...

He has referenced several times (including Whitney Cummings podcast) that he is handsome and that people have told him that. He isn't.

He's looking better in recent years. He looked like shit at times.

Abandoning the overgrown Frat boy look was a blessing. And trimming down bodily.

I have been the recipient of Name Comic not giving a shit about other comics. I was performing in a local show at the Comedy Stop at the Trop. It was the night, pre cell phones, in the 90s when Letterman called Romano and offered him Everyone Loves Raymond. Romano was running up to the Box Office, where the phone was, came down a narrow backstage passage and shoved me out of the way and into the wall. Fucking asshole. And that night I got the pleasure of listening to him tell the audiences about his new deal with World Wide Pants and listen to his HACK material for the gazillionth time. My favorite Romano bit was his video of Gregory, or Shmegory, giving him the finger. I knew how they felt. Fucker is as fucker does.

R158 Holy crap he has tiny gay hands. His hands are so tiny they'd fit in a dwarf's cum dump.

It's interesting that he looks better courtesy of lockdown life. In video podcasts, he tended to look a little puffy in the face, presumably from booze.

[Quote] His hands are so tiny they'd fit in a dwarf's cum dump.

How... vivid.

r201 ELR was an excellent TV show. Be glad you were touched by greatness.

She looked good the other day.

If you find a turd with teeth sexy then yes, Leslie is your...whatever the fuck it is.

If I were in the audience and paid to see jeselnik, I would have been pissed.

If I were in the audience and paid to see Leslie Jones, well, cows could fly.

Jones was not announced. She was a drop-in.

She looks the best I’ve ever seen in r207. She’s clearly been working out like a madwoman. Never seen her so toned. Color works for her too. I think she’s incredibly unfunny and don’t care for her professionally but I’m glad that she’s taking care of her body.

Yes because a toned turd is exactly what the world needs.

You think you're being cute with the repeated "turd" usage. You're not.

R213 Turd best describes whatever Leslie is.
