JONJ in Esquire

In an interview with Susie Essman:

ESQ: There's a Web site called Jew or Not Jew, which ranks your Jewishness. Your Jewish score is 13, which is tied with Lenny Bruce but still one less than Larry David. Are you as Jewish as Lenny Bruce?

SE: Yes, because Lenny Bruce and I both were very anti-religion. I always thought that that was what Lenny Bruce got in trouble for — not his language, but his discussing religion. That was the thing that really drove him crazy when they started censoring him. It wasn't the words.
