On last night's show he had a story comparing Easter and Passover and why the latter is boring for children. The example for Easter was the much more fun for children pagan egg hunt on the White House lawn. On other such comparitive stories he also shows ignorance of Jewish traditions, such as considering Chanukah to be the equivalent of Christmas just because they are adjacent on the calendar. This is a common mistake for many "casual" Jews and I think it makes them unqualified to make self-deprecating jokes about Jewishness. He can still joke about hypochondria and other stereotypical Jewish qualities. Although actually he is of course free to joke about anything, buy I don't have to like it. I'll still watch his show and enjoy it nearly all of the time.
