Profile

Jackie Mason is an actor and stand-up comedian.

Mason rose to be one of the hottest comics in America in the early 1960's. He reached the apex of American entertainment culture when he became a regular performer on the nation's preeminent television variety program, "The Ed Sullivan Show," only to fall into Sullivan's disfavor over the interpretation of a now legendary hand gesture during a live performance in 1962; an incident which cast a shadow over Mason's career for more than a decade.

Starting in 1986, his one-man show "The World According to Me," began an unprecedented two and a half year run on Broadway, winning triumphant reviews and re-establishing Mason as one of the nation's premier comics. The show earned Jackie Mason a Tony Award, an Outer Critics Circle Award, an Ace Award, an Emmy Award, and a Grammy nomination, and he toured successfully in America and Europe for two years.

Over the years, Jackie Mason has appeared in a variety of films and television shows, most notably "Caddyshack II" which won him a new, younger, and hipper urban following, and the TV sitcom, "Chicken Soup", which taught him that he's only happy when he's performing his own material.

Jackie Mason calls New York home, but he lives on the road entertaining his many loyal long-time fans and the legions of new fans he earns each year. He often performs in Atlantic City.
