- Michael Richards: Kramer from Seinfeld is not Jewish.
- Jason Biggs: He plays Jewish characters in several films because of his look, but he’s of Italian descent.
- Mike Meyers: Does a great impression of his Jewish mother-in-law Linda Richman, but he’s not Jewish.
- Alan Alda: He looks and sounds Jewish, but he’s Italian. His birth name is Alphonso Joseph D’Abruzzo.
- Robin Williams: You would think that a man this funny has to be Jewish, but you’d be wrong.
- Paul Giamatti: Yes, he has an Italian name, but he still looks and seems Jewish.
- David Letterman: With the hairstyle, glasses, and name, you’d think he was Jewish. He’s even received anti-Semitic death threats.
- Adam Corolla: Another Jew-Fro tricks us again.
- Bruce Springstein: Famously not Jewish in Adam’s Sandler’s Hanukkah song. With a name like that, he’s easy to confuse for a Yid.
