Throwback Thursday Comedy Showcase: Jackie Mason on Luxury Apartments 59 Years Ago

Today we're continuing our tribute to legendary comedian Jackie Mason, who died last Saturday at the age of 93. While his humor didn't appeal to all, and made some people uncomfortable, there's no denying that he was funny and topical in his political incorrectness.

Mason had a special insight into societal trends, attitudes and actions that defied common sense. His matter-of-fact observations played out to large appreciative audiences on highly rated TV shows such as The Ed Sullivan Show.

We've already posted some of these appearances over the years, but there are others that we hope to share with you in the coming months. 

Today we're sharing a routine about luxury apartments that Mason presented 59 years ago in 1962.

Enjoy!
