		Jackie Mason is such a performer, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest stand-up comics of all time.
		Born in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, Jackie Mason was raised on the Lower East Side of Manhattan surrounded by rabbis.
		Mason hosted a nationally syndicated radio talk show and together with his friend and collaborator, the divorce attorney Raoul Lionel Felder, he hosted both the weekly PBS talk television series "Crossing The Line" and BBC radio show "The Mason-Felder Report" three times each week.

	BBC - Liverpool Stage - Jackie Mason
		Jackie Mason is very politically incorrect and if his remarks were made by a gentile, it is unlikely that he would be allowed to perform.
		Jackie Mason's trademark is his monotoned, nasal delivery and it is combined with his hand gestures and asides like "D'you understand that?" and "son of a bitches".
		I saw Jackie Mason in the West End three years ago and thought it was the funniest stand-up I had ever seen.

	Jackie Mason (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Mason and Rock share the comedy of ethnicity, playing on the anxieties of ethnic self-consciousness and the aspiration for success.
		Mason has taken heat for his offensive depictions of women, gays, fls, and Puerto Ricans, but at the Wilbur, even though he announced, with knowing disingenuousness, "I'm here to fight for the minorities of this country," he gave these groups only the once-over lightly.
		Of course there's Mason's delivery, his timing, his matter-of-fact heckling of the front row ("I was once a miserable human being; I looked like this man"), his dapper dark double-breasted blazer and slacks, the simple fl backdrop, his at-ease pacing and delivery of lines, and his sterling Brooklynese.

		But the crowd was there to see Jackie Mason and that's what they got -- with one fifteen minute intermission which he seemed loathe to even take.
		Mason claims to have a "clean" show, and that he doesn't do "dirty" humor, his act is surprisingly sprinkled with the "f" word.

	Famous comedian Jackie Mason incites genocide of Palestinians (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Mason and Felder blame the entire Palestinian-Israeli conflict on Palestinian wickedness and hatred of Jews, and ignore completely Israel's decades of dispossession, occupation, repression and killings of Palestinians in far greater numbers than Israelis who have been killed in the conflict, to say nothing of the clear imperative for Israel to stop violating international law.
		According to his own website, Mason says he "is widely regarded as one of the greatest stand-up comics of all time.
		In this climate, it is no surprise that a well-known entertainer such as Mason can openly call for the crime of genocide and suffer no public repercussions or damage to his career.

		Of course, the whole tradition of Jewish comedy is to mock themselves, whether it’s the clingy mother, the spoiled princess or the hypochondria.
		Mason revels in the controversy, of course, delighting at causing offence.
		The way he flips casual insults at the audience is a joy – accusing them of being wither ugly, stupid, a Nazi or – worst of all – a homosexual.

	FrontPage magazine.com :: Jackie Mason Turns Serious by Don Feder
		In a letter to Westwood One, which syndicates Bohannon’s show, CAIR decried Mason’s "Islamophobic smears." (Jackie has an unreasonable fear of shoulder-launched missiles?) "It is this type of hate-filled propaganda that was used by the Nazis as justification for their persecution of the Jewish community in Germany," CAIR claimed.
		Fresh from confronting the malicious Mason, CAIR expressed concern that the accused are victims of racial profiling and entrapment.
		Jackie Mason seems only to be observing the evidence all around him.

	Jackie Mason Turns Serious (Don Feder On The Comedian's Expose Of The Religion Of Peace Alert) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Jackie Mason may be perpetually in hot water but he did not invite the controversy with Ed Sullivan and he has been very blunt in his political support of the American war on terrorism.
		Mason's routine was running long during one show, the director gave him the 'cut' signal, and Mason flipped him off...on live TV, iirc.
		Jackie cuts his act off and takes his bows saying, that's for you (open arms to the crowd), that's for you (to some in the wings on one side) and that's for you (interpreted as the fickle finger of fate) to the wing where Ed was standing.

	dOc DVD Review: Jackie Mason: The World According to Me! (1989) - Printable
		Mason opened on Broadway in 1988, and this DVD is a slightly truncated live recording of his Tony-winning show, a little later in its run.
		But Mason delivers them without the venom of, say, Don Rickles; I don't want to defend stereotypes, goodness knows, but they do come from somewhere, and Mason loves to exploit those germs of truth in what, in another's hands, could be little more than crude and offensive reductionism.
		Mason's cadence is as classically Jewish as it can be, but he's a surprisingly good mimic—his Kissinger and his Ted Kennedy are sharp, and he even gets in more than a couple of digs at his bete noire, Ed Sullivan.

	Laughing Room Only - Starring Jackie Mason
		Because I am such a longtime fan of Jackie, as he is known around the globe, I have heard all his jokes, those about being Jewish, Italian, Latino, French, Austrian, and on and on.
		However, the Jackie Mason of now is a feistier, bullish, and cutting ethnic humorist, who, in this matinee, announced his gratitude that there were no Puerto Ricans present, because he travels to Puerto Rico every year to visit his hubcaps.
		But, Jackie's little spark, the way he always danced through this joke, seemed to be a memory.

		Although Mason claimed he was flballed in the entertainment industry, he did appear on Sullivan's show in 1967, followed by a few appearances on variety shows hosted by the Smothers Brothers, Dean Martin, and Merv Griffin.
		When the man is Jackie Mason, sparks fly and the stars of the show quickly become Mason's personality, his ideas, and his ability to connect with an audience." As testimony to his wide-ranging appeal, he sold out his one-man show in a thousand-seat theater in Frankfurt, Germany.
		Mason has won numerous awards, including a Tony for his first Broadway show, The World According to Me, and an Emmy for the HBO special, Jackie Mason on Broadway.

		Jackie Mason is, and has always been, a 3rd-rate borscht belt comic...his audience is people over 60 for the most part, and if he's anti-palestinian...well, i'm not surprised one bit.
		If Jackie Mason still had a career, he wouldn't be performing at small clubs like that one in Chicago...I think he's going to benefit from the publicity too, unfortunately, and he'll probably be on Larry King within a few days, milking it for all it's worth...
		Jackie swears he held up _two_ fingers, but Ed and others saw it differently, and Jackie was banned from Ed's show and was pretty much flballed in the biz for a while after that.

		Mason opens the evening with a Hebrew prayer song, quickly reminding the audience that he is a former rabbi -- a pulpit patriarch for nearly three years.
		Mason also turns his jaundiced perspective on the medical profession, observing that in his hometown, New York City, he believed all Jews were studying to be doctors and all Indians (Middle Eastern) drove cabs.
		But whenever he goes to the hospital, he discovers, "All the patients are Jews and all the doctors are from India." He then offers a riotous imitation of a thickly accented Indian physician attempting to explain to a patient the nature of his illness.

	TV ACRES: Censorship & Scandals - Jackie Mason's Finger Gesture (Ed Sullivan Show)
		According to Mason, he jokingly took the moment to comment on the signs by saying "and here's a finger for you, and one for you..." Ed Sullivan thought that the glib finger joke reference was actually a case of Jackie Mason giving him the "finger" on-the-air.
		They had viewed his performance and found "nothing offensive." However, the influence that Sullivan possessed relegated Jackie Mason to "show-business-limbo" forcing him to work in outlying Catskill mountain resorts and related second-hand entertainment establishment.
		Years later, Jackie Mason resurfaced in a successful Broadway Tony Award winning one-man show and in the short-lived sitcom CHICKEN SOUP/ABC/1989.
