Jerry Seinfeld tells "the greatest Jew joke" - but do you get it?

The comedian is a living legend - but this one took us a while to figure out

Jerry Seinfeld told “the greatest Jew joke” on a recent episode of Norm Macdonald Live, but it confounded his hosts and audience members alike.

His eponymous sitcom, which ran from 1989 to 1998, has gone down in TV history as one of the best and most influential comedies of all time. But his latest gag didn’t land as well.

Do you get it?

The joke goes: “Two gentile businessmen meet on the street. One of them says ‘How’s business?’

“The other one says ‘Great!’”

And that’s it.

Here at the JC we think we know why it’s funny - but let us know what you think.
