Thoughts and Prayers to your family 🕊❤🙏
I always loved his voice over work in the old Ant (with the smartass ant) and the Aardvark cartoons on the Pink Panther, they were hilarious.
He was fantastic.
Also Played Krusty’s Father on the Simpsons.
😭
The Greatest Generation just got smaller!
RIP Sir!
Jackie Mason – ah, he had a prominent middle finger and knew how to use it.
I still to this day remember at least one of his jokes on the Sullivan show. A garbage Truck was going trhrougn a residential section and an inelegant lady in a pink housecoat, hair in curlers, wearing pink slippers and carrying a bag of garbage was chasing the truck and yelled out “Am I too late?”. The Driver answered, “No Lady, Hop in”.
Well, in 1963, I thought that was about the funniest thing I had ever heard.
Jackie’s impersonation of Bernie Sanders was always spot on.
True story: Big Fur Hat and I were in the car driving home from conducting art business in Manhattan, mid 1980s. We were stopped in traffic right in front of the theatre where Jackie Mason had a show. On the Marquee was a review that said, “I laughed so hard I plotzed.” Right after seeing that, the man himself, Jackie Mason came out of the front doors. BFH started to roll the car window down and I said, “Oh, Jeez…”
He yelled out “Hey, Jackie! I’m plotzing right now in the car!”
We had no idea what it even meant.
Jackie was a real patriot. RIP.
Not of my era, but dude was funny. Never held back.
