Jackie Mason, the standup comic and actor who built a career out of political incorrectness and found multiple generations of fans, has died at age 93

. “Being a comedian would be tantamount to being a murderer so to protect him I never told him.” His style unabashedly drew from his Jewish upbringing. “I find it hard to be told that I was ‘too Jewish,’ he said in 2015. “This is like saying to a bear, ‘You have too much fur.'”

Mason began his comedic career in the mid-1950s appearing throughout New York nightclubs and resorts in the Catskills, the then-bustling area of upstate New York that produced scores of famous comics.

Long life to his family. A genius

JoanieReb I remember my parents laughing at him on late night shows while I was in my bedroom wishing I was grown up and could watch late night shows.

Why do I discover these great figures only after they pass away? RIP

The best view of Manhattan is from Brooklyn.

Yeah I remember he came on The Grammys one year and did a politically incorrect performance where he started telling jokes about black people and it was disaster.

Legendary 🙌

RIP, Rabbi Hyman Krustofsky.

RIP, Jackie.

OMG…I used to see Jackie Mason in Miami Beach…His humor was wonderful…Sorry, but I thought he died long ago…I’m bad 🙏

He joked that his Doctor was so good that he couldn’t get an appointment with him, ever.

That generation of comedians is nearly gone.

Oy gevalt!
