... Jackie Mason (born Yacov Moshe Hakohen Maza; June 9, 1928 – July 24, 2021) was an American stand-up comedian and film & television actor. His (1986) one-man show "The World According to Me!" won a Special Tony Award, an Outer Critics Circle Award, an Ace Award, an Emmy Award, and earned a Grammy nomination. Later, his (1988) special "Jackie Mason on Broadway" won another Emmy Award & Ace Award, and his (1991) voice-over of Rabbi Hyman Krustofski in The Simpsons episode "Like Father, Like Clown" won Mason a third Emmy Award. He wrote & performed six one-man shows on Broadway. Known for his delivery & voice, as well as his use of innuendo & pun, Mason's often culturally grounded humor was described as irreverent and sometimes politically incorrect.
