Rooftop favorite Moshe Kasher made his late night television debut on NBC’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night, and it was Moshe-riffic.

It’s no surprise that Moshe’s blowing up like we thought he would. He’s never scared to toe the edge, never scared to go off script. He’s irreverent, unapologetic, and never dumbs it down — even for network television. No wonder we named him “Best of the Fest” at last year’s Aspen Rooftop Comedy Festival. The dude is hilarious. Also, he has really cool hair.

If you’re lucky enough to live in San Francisco, you can see Moshe headline the San Francisco Punchline tonight. If you don’t, well, you can always listen to Moshe’s album on iTunes.

CMT Next Big Comic finalist John Ramsey may have ditched his suit and tie for a six string and a stetson, but he sure didn’t ditch his trademark sense of humor. Who knows, with pipes like that maybe John will be country music’s first crossover comedy act turned pop star… since Darius Rucker.

Visit CMT.com to watch more funny clips from John and the other three funny finalists in CMT’s Next Big Comic competition. Make sure to vote for your favorite comic, and help send the winner to the 2010 Aspen Rooftop Comedy Festival this June!
