A Jewish boy from Brooklyn, New York, Scott Sherman is best known as a writer for Comedy Central’s ‘The Colbert Report’ and ‘Important Things with Demetri Martin’.

TCR writer Scott Sherman has written a new book, Bad for the Jews: Jews in the News Who Embarrass the Tribe.
Scott Sherman has taken it upon himself to compile a list of 50 Oy-vey inducing members of the tribe—from politics, entertainment and white collar crime—who make it tougher than it already is to be a Jew these days.
“As a Catholic, I’m not sure I was allowed to laugh while reading Bad For The Jews, but I did anyway. Please don’t send letters.” –Stephen Colbert
“As funny as it is insightful. And so bad for the Jews, it’s actually good for the Jews.” –Lewis Black, Comedian and Author of Me of Little Faith

Sherman organizes his cultural malfeasants into groups of bad (the mildest cases), badder and baddest. They were all alive when he wrote the book. Amy Winehouse, unfortunately, died before it was published.
Since I’m a goy, you’re free to question as to whether I’m qualified to have an opinion on Sherman’s book. But I might say to you, who better than a goy to know what’s truly a shanda for the goyim and what’s plain old ordinary human screwing up?
