Comedians have always told us the truth. The geniality is that they get away with it. Today it wouldn’t be possible or it would be a thin line between allowing them or not.
American adults across the country STILL accept "murder, mayhem, and destruction" as a way of life--with one exception; it has become "entertainment " in a explosion of TV shows (in criminal justice series, dramas, reality tv, etc) that center on " murder, mayhem, and destruction". A society of moral idiots. And I'll bet that not one walked away from this lunch asking themselves what a real democracy is and what type of society america really is.
Somehow, I never knew this existed. Today, I can finally answer with certainty that i will never be wrong that i have found the best hour of C-Span programming that ever was and ever will be. God bless Jackie Mason.
Jackie owned the show. It gave me an appreciation for his intelligence and insight into his scope of knowledge. More than just a comedic genius.❣️❣️❣️⭐⭐⭐⭐
My father snuck me into a nightclub show of Jackie Mason's in the catskills when I was underage. My father who laughed at NOTHING, had tears running down his face from laughter.
Funny as having lived in Maryland and Washington DC it's so true about the crime every time you see the Capitol of the country they show the monument and the white house and Lincoln memorial and everything in that little row from end to end which is beautiful BUT from any one of those beautiful view turn the camera around 180% and it's disgusting for instance just 1 block NE of the back of the governing body is Hooker and Drug Capitol of the country 2 blocks in any direction from there is shooting Capitol all the way to the beltway and inside some neighborhoods around the Capitol are so crime ridden not even the police will enter. So you wonder how the governing body became corrupt. God bless you all
A comedic tour de force! Ad libbing at its best. " I don't get many opportunities to work for nothing". He even threw the North American Indians under the bus for the sake of Comedy.
This goes at or near the top of my list of all time favorite RU-vid videos. I've always known Jackie Mason was probably the funniest Jew who ever lived but I had no idea he was so honest.
It is too bad that he did not run, and get elected, as NYC Mayor. Just think about this, in 30 years, since Jackie Mason did this, NYC crime, and killing has gotten much, much worse .. . He was right about his replies ..100%.
@@frankrolls6834 who knows? Just like the ruling of Roe v Wade, I have been reading about some abnormalities that can happen with a newborn child where hormone therapy is needed. One wonders whether these so called justices ever did a research on the subject and what can go wrong with a pregnancy. They laid down a ruling without a scientific knowledge of the nature of what they decided on the lives of a human being. May God’s just ruling be correct. Who knows maybe they all be born with the abnormalities on which they ruled but the question is will they ever know that what they did was incorrect because they didn’t take into account the millions of things that can happen in a pregnancy.
Speaking truth to the press - and about the press - what a concept! 30 years later the issues of crime, race, deficit, healthcare, dishonest politicians and unconstitutional wars are with us still and worse in many ways. RIP, Jackie.
The moderator said that he had just been elected as president of the National Press Club. As soon as it was over, he resigned! (I'm even starting to write in Jackie Mason's voice!)
He was a great man. I personally met him at a Catskill’s hotel. I actually memorized one of his skits when I was a teenager. And made him surprised to talk like him.😅
It is amazing that if you just change the names and he could be talking about the events of today. Friday, July 30, 2021. I remember a joke he told long ago. “People are all going to Psychiatrists now to try and find themselves. So I decided to try it and went to one. He asked me for $700.oo an hour to help me find myself. I told him that’s crazy, I will just get with my friends to look for me for free and we will find me because I remember where I was last!”
Jackie, you made me cry........laughing my head off when talking about our differences, which should be all laughable. You helped so many and were an absolute delight. May your soul rest in the Peace of Christ. From a Catholic to a Jew, God Bless you, Sir!
I whole heartedly agree ; I'm Catholic too - but , when you consider that Our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST was Jewish , it seems to me that , while not all Jews are Christian , all Christians are Jews ❤
