Anthony Jeselnik (/ˈ dʒ ɛ s əl n ɪ k / JES -əl-nik; born December 22, 1978) is an American comedian, writer, actor, and producer.

J. Miller, Kumail Nanjiani, and Jon Lajoie. In 2009, Jeselnik was hired as a writer for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. His dream job, predating standup or his first comedy class, was to sit around a table and “throw out jokes with people you respected.” After getting the job, Jeselnik’s pitches would be continually shot down as they were too dark. For example, he routinely fought for a single joke regarding obesity each day for a month, and although Fallon liked the joke, he felt uncomfortable performing it as it would likely jeopardize his likability with the obese. During this period, he was a regular at the Comedy Cellar in Greenwich Village, New York City. Jeselnik would work hard each day for the show and then proceed to go to Comedy Cellar, have a “big stiff drink,” and do his act, feeling “miserable.” In March 2010, he approached the show’s producers and told them he wanted to leave. “We understand—you want to go be Anthony Jeselnik,” they said.

He was a former lover of comedy partner Amy Schumer. He was brought up within Upper St. Clair, Pennsylvania by his parents Stephanie Anthony and Stephanie Anthony.

In preparing the show, Comedy Central was looking for a half-hour, four-nights-a-week show following The Colbert Report titled Midnight.

For the pilot, Jeselnik did a test interview with a celebrity but felt “so wrong […] it just fit me like a bad suit.” For the show’s first episode, Jeselnik performs cancer- related standup for a cancer support group. “I had to fight with Comedy Central to put that on the first episode,” said Jeselnik.
