Occasionally I run into the CBS2 Chicago website. I think it’s a Drudge link favorite. They have these really obnoxious slideshows that I can’t seem to resist clicking on. I may seek medical attention for this problem.

Today’s is a list of Jewish Celebrities, of which there are many. I won’t list all 65. For instance, I’ll skip the obvious ones (Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg) or people who shouldn’t be celebrities (David Blaine).

Here goes:

  • Zach Braff – Dude from Scrubs and more recently the voice of the talking water bottle and talking toilet paper dog.
  • Harrison Ford – I think Adam Sandler outed him in his Hanukkah Song.
  • Judd Apatow – Creator of Freaks and Geeks. Also a ton of recent movies.
  • Jack Black
  • Zac Efron – That High School Musical Kid (ed. I’m hoping including his name here generates some gratuitous HSM fan visits. I’m not above artificially padding the hit numbers.)
  • Sarah Michelle Gellar – Republican Jew. Too Bad I hated Buffy, I’m starting to like her more and more.
  • The Gyllenhalls – Maggie and Jake. They changed it from Gyllenhallstein when they got into show business.
  • Kyra Sedgwick – The Closer. I really want to like her, but the marriage to Kevin Bacon requires hate.
  • Paula Abdul – Here father is a Syrian Jew.
  • Natalie Portman – The best looking actress that has never ever been in a good movie. Ever. *ed. Amended, see comments.
  • Maya Rudolph – I knew there was a reason she was so funny.
  • Bob Saget – So why is he so un-funny?
