MC Mr. Napkins

For the second year in a row, this category goes to a vegan Jew. (Just saying . . .) A tall one, this time. A tall, rapping one. MC MR. NAPKINS, the bizarre stage name of comedian Zach Sherwin, formerly of the Late Night Players sketch troupe, is a nouveau wordsmith, blending hip-hop and fervent linguistics fetishism to create a unique brand of comedy: white rapping that’s actually clever and provocative. Sherwin’s Web presence is as unique as his stage act — check his Web site every Thursday for a weekly hip-hop roundup of national news headlines, the “Headline Anagram Jamma-Jam.”
