Anthony Jeselnik ( /ˈdʒɛsəlnɪk/ JES-əl-nik; born December 22, 1978) is an American stand-up comedian and television writer who is best known for his extremely slow and quiet deadpan delivery of random and sometimes nonsensical and odd and sarcastic and cheesy and corny but witty and intelligent jokes and his genius but dark and controversial insult humor.
Jeselnik was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He earned a bachelors degree in English Literature from Tulane University, then moved to Los Angeles. Jeselnik resides in New York City.
Jeselnik worked as a writer on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon for the show's first season and often appeared in the show's comedy sketches. After working on Late Night for a year, he left the show in March 2010 to focus on performing stand-up comedy and other projects.
