Klassic Kolbert: The Atone Phone
September 12, 2010 By
Shalom, Zoners! With Rosh Hashanah just past and Yom Kippur coming up on September 18th, it’s time to get out the Atone Phone! Every year during the Days of Repentance Stephen provides a convenient way for any of the Chosen People who have wronged him during the year to call him at 1-888-OOPS-JEW and apologize, and of course the results are hilarious. Here are a few favorite videos from previous years.

Klassic Kolbert: Days of Repentance
September 17, 2009 By
Well, boys and girls, it’s almost Rosh Hashanah, and that’s as good a reason as any to revisit one of Stephen’s hilarious and oh-so-culturally-sensitive segments from years gone by: the Atone Phone.

The other was 1-888-MOSS-LEW, which I beleive was a lawyer going by the name of [...]
