RIP Jackie Mason

[gunnerk19]

Some of you may not even be old enough to remember him.

Jackie Mason, Rabbi Turned Contentious Comedian, Dies at 93

Throughout his long career, he attacked controversial issues with glee, and his passion often landed him in hot water.

That's a shame, but 93 years is a good run. I can't say I always thought Mr. Mason was funny, but that was usually because I didn't quite understand his style of humor. Saw him perform live once, and he killed it--the audience was in the palm of his hand the whole time. Rest in peace Mr. Mason.

OY VEY!

Caught his act twice in AC, he was definitely an original and funny as......

Sad, he was brilliant! Never really knew if he was doing comedy or self-therapy!

Rest his soul

His Ed Sullivan impression is one of the funniest things I've seen, I loved seeing Johnny Carson totally loose it over this.

They don't make them like him anymore...not for the current generation. RIP
