His girlfriend told police that Jeni shot himself, but authorities aren't yet saying whether they consider the death suicide. Jeni starred in several HBO specials and had been a "Tonight Show" regular. His film credits include The Mask, The Aristocrats, National Lampoon's Dad's Week Off and An Alan Smithee Film: Burn, Hollywood, Burn.
