About Jackie Mason

Jackie Mason

Jackie Mason

Jackie Mason (born Yacov Moshe Maza on June 9, 1931, in Sheboygan, Wisconsin) is an American stand-up comedian. His "politically incorrect" routines and opinionated observations on Jewish and American life have often provoked controversy.

Mason graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from City College of New York and (at the age of 25) was ordained, as his three brothers and father had been, as a rabbi in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Three years later he resigned the post to become a comedian.

In 1992 , Mason won an Emmy for his voice-over of Rabbi Hyman Krustofski in The Simpsons episode, "Like Father, Like Clown" making him the first guest star to win an Emmy for his role. In a 2005 poll to find The Comedian's Comedian, Mason was voted amongst the top 50 comedy acts ever by fellow comedians and comedy insiders. He was also ranked #63 in Comedy Central's 100 Greatest Stand-Up Comedians. [ citation needed ]

John Byner impersonated Mason for the Aardvark cartoon character in the cartoon series The Ant and the Aardvark .
