Comedian Anthony Jeselnik made a bold statement with the cover of his latest stand-up special DVD. The talk show host, Conan O’Brien, couldn’t help but ask Jeselnik about his unconventional choice of imagery – a shark jumping out of the water.
During his appearance on the show, Jeselnik explained that most comedians opt for a picture of their own face on the cover. However, he felt that he was “almost too handsome” to be a comedian and wanted to go in the opposite direction. After witnessing sharks leaping out of the water on Discovery Channel’s Shark Week, Jeselnik found the perfect photo online.
“I would have paid a million dollars to have that photo,” Jeselnik admitted to his manager. Fortunately, the photographer agreed to provide the picture for free on one condition – Jeselnik couldn’t say anything negative about sharks on his DVD.
As it turns out, both the shark photographer and Jeselnik share a strong pro-shark stance. The comedian even expressed his support for sharks to the point of being offended when humans survive shark attacks. In his eyes, the well-being of sharks outweighs any personal consequences humans might face.
Conan O’Brien, not one to be left out, jokingly gave Jeselnik a ringing endorsement on the DVD cover with a quote that read, “A bad man, Conan O’Brien.” Jeselnik humorously admitted that he took the quote from Andy, Conan’s sidekick.
The conversation between Jeselnik and O’Brien showcased the comedian’s unique perspective and willingness to take risks. With his pro-shark stance and unapologetic humor, Jeselnik certainly knows how to stand out in the comedy world.
For fans of Anthony Jeselnik and his twisted sense of humor, this DVD cover is a must-see. Whether you’re a fellow pro-shark enthusiast or just appreciate Jeselnik’s boundary-pushing comedy, this stand-up special is bound to leave you in stitches.
