Throwback Thursday Comedy Special: Jackie Mason at the Hollywood Palace


It's another Throwback Thursday. Time to turn the clock back, way back, to 1964 when comedian Jackie Mason gave a performance on the Hollywood Palace TV show.

At the time, the 36-year-old Mason was in the early part of his career. Now 91, he still makes occasional TV appearances. 

A former rabbi, ordained by Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, Mason quit his rabbinical career to become a stand-up comedian because, he says, "Somebody in the family had to make a living." His three brothers, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather were all rabbis.

Enjoy!
