Jenny Slate Reads Lena Dunham’s Erotic Jewish Comedian Fanfiction
By Sarah Breger December 1, 2015
If you thought the virulent reaction toward her “Dog or Jewish Boyfriend?” New Yorker piece would scare Lena Dunham from commentating on the Jewish male id, you would be very very wrong.
In the most recent episode of “The Organist” podcast, comedian Jenny Slate reads Lena Dunham’s “Erotic Male Jewish Comedian Fan Fiction.” In these vignettes, Dunham has NSFW encounters with Larry David, Jon Stewart, Gary Shandling, Jerry Seinfeld and Mel Brooks — with the latter she imagines she would “hang out on his couch in a sports bra and sweats while he talks with Carl Reiner on how the matzah balls at Canters just aren’t what they used to be, but the cookies are OK.”
Listen to these titillating tales here.

Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
That’s why I’m paying it Forward, by matching $36,000 of reader gifts. It’s an investment in the Forward’s newsroom, to continue telling the American Jewish story with truth and independence.
