Comedian Anthony Jeselnik on the 'Offensive'

I'm going to let you in on a little secret: Comedian Anthony Jeselnik - best known for his extremely dark humor - is actually a pretty nice guy.

But nice guys can't get away with joking about some of the conventionally taboo subjects he frequently riffs on.

To get away with making these jokes, Jeselnik developed an ultra confident stage persona, which gives him a lot more freedom.

He'll make full use of that as the host of his new Comedy Central series, "The Jeselnik Offensive," premiering Tuesday night.
