Have heard of him but was well before my time. In case any of you were fans:

Comedian Jackie Mason has died at age 93

He was banned for two years from the "Sullivan" show when he allegedly gave the host the finger when Sullivan signaled to him to wrap up his act.

Jackie Mason, a rabbi-turned-comedian whose feisty brand of standup comedy led him to Catskills nightclubs, West Coast talk shows and Broadway stages, has died. He was 93.


Mason died Saturday at 6 p.m. ET at Mt. Sinai Hospital in Manhattan after being hospitalized for over two weeks, the celebrity lawyer Raoul Felder told The Associated Press.

He was a staple of the Borsht Circuit. His talent won't be seen again any time soon.

R.I.P.

You deserve it.

I enjoyed your acts.

RIP Jackie. Thanks for the laughs. He got blacklisted once for flipping off Ed Sullivan. lol

He also ran afoul of the Hollywood Jews who were bashing Israel no end, and still are. He had some balls, and deserves a lot of respect.

He'll really be missed by those of us of a certain age. He was a REAL class act. RIP and thanks for the joy you brought.

RIP
Will be sorely missed.
He was the quintessential Jew in expression of his voice, mannerism, looks, sense of humor, and chutzpah.
Now it's just Me, Seinfeld's Uncle Leo, or Gilbert Gottfried next in line to be deemed the most Jewish Jew.
