Just in time for Purim, Chabad.org’s Itche Kadoozy Show is back by popular demand with its first new episode since last Pesach.
The new episode features Jono teaching about the mitzvos of the holiday but keen-eyed fans of the hit web series may notice something else. Itche’s beloved sidekick Jono looks just a little bit different than before.
That’s because this video features a brand new Jono puppet. Its creator and producer, Dovid Taub who recently moved from London to Pittsburgh has been working on new show’s scripts and a number of new puppets, including a brand new Jono.
“This is actually Jono 3.0,” says Taub, alluding to the fact that three different Jono puppets have been used since the series began to air on Chabad.org in 2004.
The first Jono puppet was replaced after Season 1 of IKS and can be seen in Koshermentary and only a handfull of other episodes.
The most well-known Jono puppet, Jono 2.0, was introduced in The Hebrew Lesson and was used for over 100 episodes over the past seven years.
Interesting to note, Pesach Episode 3 which is due to air after Purim was shot before the making of Jono 3.0 and will feature the old Jono 2.0 even though it is coming out later.
What many fans may not know is that puppet Jono is actually the likeness of a real Jono, Taub’s childhood friend and creative partner, Jonathan Goorvich, who helped him develop the series and co-writes most of the show’s scripts.

All his button-down shirts are different. Plus he might have new glasses.

For the record- the pictures go in chronological order from right to left. So the new Jono is the left most one. The one missing the “Wasome” hat is the first Jono (because we hadn’t thought of the “wasome” hat yet). Hooray for puppets!
