Letterman last night was a great double header, and not even because of the Jew factor (though that was a strange coincidence). First, Dave hosted Natalie Portman, who happens to be the future Mrs. Particleman, or Mrs. Particlewoman if she prefers (Salma and KT and Charlize may not like that, though). David asked Natalie about her recent travels, to which she responded that she spent six months in Israel last year. And she’s also fluent in Hebrew – not surprising considering she was born in Jerusalem. Then she turned over to Paul – also Jewish – and asked if he spoke Hebrew: “No.” Bummer. Maybe Natalie can give you lessons! Maybe she can give me lessons.

After that, as if two talented Jews weren’t enough, Al Franken, one of my favorite funny-men, talked with Dave. Actually, as is often the case with them Jewish folk, Al did most of the talking, and pretty much all of it was funny. That guy cracks me up. He’s apparently going to run for Senator of Minnesota. Do it, dude. Or as Ben Stiller would say: Do it, Do it.
