JIMMY Carr has been slammed by watchdogs for an anti-Semitic joke after a gag on fellow comic Tom Rosenthal’s nose.
He breached broadcasting rules when the pair appeared together in a trailer for Comedy Central show Roast Battle, Ofcom said.
The show sees comedians try to offend each other amusingly.
In the clip aired before the watershed in September, Jimmy, 46, asked Tom if he was Jewish.
When he answered he was not, the star replied: “Someone needs to tell your face.”
Tom, 30, who is of Jewish heritage, laughed and covered his nose in response.
A viewer complained, saying it was “clearly anti-Semitic, drawing on the racial stereotype of a ‘Jewish look’”.
No viewers complained about the joke in the programme itself.
But trailers have stricter standards as viewers can encounter them inadvertently and are not warned about content.
In its ruling yesterday, the regulator said: “Ofcom is aware of a significant rise in reported incidents of anti-Semitism in the UK in recent years.

“One significant recurring stereotype has been discriminatory references to Jewish people’s physical appearance.
“We considered the offensive content in this trailer exceeded generally accepted standards.”
Comedy Central “apologise unreservedly”.
Carr and Rosenthal were unavailable for comment.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.
Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
