'Jewno': All The Young Jews Awkwardly Shmooze 'Til They Have Booze

Carla Sosenko
 

Ever wondered what the fate of America's knocked-up sweetheart, Juno MacGuff, would have been were she born to liberal New York Jews? Look no further than the "preview" for Jewno, the 92nd Street Y Tribeca's tribute to the Oscar-winning quip-a-thon. Our heroine is reimagined as a Semitic America Ferrera lookalike with a "knish in the oven" and her very own bagel phone. Look for the cameo from Mac MacGuff himself (J.K. Simmons) as "Jewbell's" super-Heeby dad.
