WOW! From all the reports we've been seeing online, it sounds like Drew Friedman's book party at the legendary Friars' Club was a legend in its own right! Thanks to everyone who came out for the event, and thanks so much to The Friars Club for hosting the release party for Even More Old Jewish Comedians!

Just look at that line outside The Friars Club! The event was packed!
According to a report from Ronald L. Smith, comedian/cover model Stewie Stone remarked, "If you told 'em there was a buffet today, an early bird dinner, there would be twice as many people here!" HA!
As the NY Daily News reports, Friedman pointed to Stone and said, "How could I not put that face on the cover of the book. I know what sells!"
It may be Stewie Stone's mug on the cover, but on the back of the book, there's a blurb from comedian Gilbert Gottfried! Doesn't he look thrilled about it!?
And look! It's our own Humbug legend Al Jaffee seen here with "Handsome" Dick Manitoba!
And speaking of "handsome," look, it's Abe Vigoda!
There are tons more wonderful photos to check out at Drew Friedman's blog, and over at the New York Photoscene blog! (No wonder Drew draws these guys! Such great expressions!) Get yourself a copy of Even More Old Jewish Comedians today!
