No comments about him calling himself a "frugal jew"? Have to admit, it sounded funny/odd to me when he said it -- I think a bit of Andy's Gay Jewish snark rubbed off on him. It is one of those thing that I guess is "OK" to say about yourself, but only about yourself. But, yeah, odd thing to say. *** I thought it was a fun show, Adam looked great -- and young. But Adam seemed relatively calm compared to everyone else on the show. We did get some different than normal questions, although not much/any new info. *** My favorite line, "It's not a jacket..."

No comments about him calling himself a "frugal jew"? Well , when he calls HIMSELF something, that others use as slurs, what should we as fans feel? A couple of years ago, Adam said that using words, others use as evil words, in a nice form of endearment would take the bite out of it. I think he used "faggot" as example. It was the Concert were he showed the black/yellow stripped undies. Is "frugal Jew" still used as a slur word in USA?

No comments about him calling himself a "frugal jew"? I love the fact that he is so open about being Jewish.. Even at the interview at the Blonds Adam made a point of saying he got to go to Tel Aviv,Israel with Queen.. As a sensitive Jewish woman, I have No problem with Adam saying he is a" frugal Jew".. because I believe he believes that he is frugal and Jewish..LOL and that's not an insult... For those who are new to Adamtopia,Adam has done his own makeup for forever and he has done others makeup for them too. Also He sold makeup at Macys when he was very young.. To add I love that he owns being Jewish.. Being a gay Jewish man today is not the easiest thing in the world.I love his honesty and courage. Also Touching Adam seemed to be a very kind gesture.. didn't see any fawning from Chrissy. She is so lovely

I always thought that jews and jewish heritage was not that surrounded by antisemitism as in Europe still. Here in Germany , no person of Jewish belief, would make snarky self ironic jewish comments. The pain of history is still to much for snark to be used in non jewish public. Sadly.... but no not today....about politics..... TODAY is about how funny Adam was, and HOW GORGEOUS

No comments about him calling himself a "frugal jew"? Haaha, FRUGAL? FRUGAL? I could probably live for a month on the price of each item of clothing he's wearing! But yeah, he was just responding to the host so not to be taken as Adam's true assessment of himself

No to what i said about the using words different, or no to my Question? oh sorry I don't remember ever hearing "frugal Jew" as an insult. , but I sure have heard other stuff. like "a penny for a Jew" IMHO Adam didn't say anything insulting ,he was describing himself about not using a makeup person .. there were two other Jewish guys on the show and Adam probably felt comfortable talking as a member of the tribe.. just saying......Sometimes" a cigar is just a cigar"
