Twitterer of the Week: Anthony Jeselnik

Anthony Jeselnik was a writer for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, until he left in March of 2010 to pursue his own stand-up career. His comedy is offensive, bitter, and very well crafted. His ability to conceive a tight joke is perfect for Twitter.

He also has the distinction of winning Doug Benson's "Leonard Maltin Game" (over Rob Huebel) by identifying a movie having been given the following 3 clues:

• The movie came out in 1998
• It was a disaster movie
• In his review, Maltin wrote about one performer in the movie that she "seems a bit of a flyweight as [an] ambitious TV newswoman."

…then identifying the 2nd movie with the following three clues:

• It was a disaster movie.
• It was released in 2006
• Maltin wrote in his review: "its characters are flat and uninteresting."

Jeselnik claims he never saw either movie.
