It seems octogenarian unfunnyman Jackie Mason recently shared some not-altogether choice words about homosexuality during an unaired, wholly unnecessary interview with Aaron Klein Investigative Radio. “Before, you couldn’t pick on homosexuals because it was bad taste,” said the shuttered laff factory, “because homosexuals were a persecuted minority. Now, it’s exactly the opposite. Homosexuals can attack and abuse you. And people who are in favor of same-sex marriage could abuse you, but you can’t say a word against same-sex marriage.”
Babbling on — we’re imagining over mouthfuls of steamed prunes — the 84-year-old host of Tales from the Crypt stand-up comedian said: “The homosexuals are now in charge, and if they find out you’re a heterosexual, you’re afraid to walk in the street already.”
It’s the first time Jackie Mason said anything that made us laugh.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

He should be so lucky!

No wonder the Simpsons put a stake through his heart.
Carlos Zuniga
Who’s he?

@Gothrykke: RIGHT!?
weird, my sisters and both my parents are straight. they’re openly-straight, too. and they don’t walk in fear. in fact, every year, they march in the gay pride parade.
what’s this old coot talking about? how hard is being an anti-gay white man? oh boo-hoo.
it’s as if he can’t understand that other straight people aren’t as closed-minded and ignorant as he is.
Frank Smekar
Isn’t he dead yet? If you had asked me, I would have told you he was dead.
Jim Randall
Every time a forgotten about entertainer wants attention, they say something stupid about gays to the media. Just like Billy Crystal. (Another “never been funny” kosher boy)
Mike Benevenstanciano
Oy veh
Michael Martinez
Ah, used to bes. Maybe he could do a double bill with Rupert Everett.

Never found him funny. His stand up is just some guy telling some cue card jokes and laughing at himself. I guess if your 80 you might like it.
AJ Sarabia
Does she not own a mirror?
Giancarlo85
Yeah we’re just waiting out in the streets… to attack whoever we can see lol. If you’re straight beware!
Jackie Mason makes me sad that George Carlin passed away a few years ago.

He’s still alive?

Come out of the closet and that won’t happen!!!

I remember seeing Jackie perform in Atlantic City 20 years ago. No question he is talented. But he had no problem throwing in some “fagela” jokes bad taste or not. For the times he grew up in, it was probably obligatory to make jokes about stereotypical homos.
But I’m glad he’s lived long enough to feel intimidated by the dreaded “Gay Mafia”. Progress. I also notice he remains a confirmed bachelor. Interesting.

and jews run the entertainment industry so i hear…
Vegas Tearoom
Old, Jewish comedian who wears more makeup than a drag queen?
AJ Legault
Is he still on this mortal coil?

This man’s career was over 40 years ago when Ed Sullivan had the good sense, and common decency, to keep him from cluttering the nations televison’s with his unfunny routines. His appeal, whatever it may be, is to a very select (and very old) group of people who seem to be stuck in the 1950’s. Mason seems to be the last of a dying breed and, at 84, it won’t be long until he’ll be joining them.

I should say who is Jackie Mason but now we have Wikipedia so I can say “Is Jackie Mason still alive?”
BlueDude
@mcflyer54: LMFAO! Didn’t he “flip the bird” on the Sullivan Show??? I was just a kid and recall that broadcast! Never saw him on TV after that, and I doubt he was missed.
Bradley Farrow
He’s still alive?
Timothy Grover
He’s still alive?
IanHunter
I am surprised to see that he is actually still alive. I haven’t seen nor heard about him in a longtime. Dementia is a sad disease.
Chris
What a pathetic excuse for a man.
Sean Hansen
Maybe he should be………………………………
Jesus Malverde
As if he has to worry!
lykeitiz
He actually said: “Before, you couldn’t pick on homosexuals because it was bad taste,”
Wow….Alzheimer’s is heartless. I can’t remember that era.
Chuck Stevenson
He needn’t flatter himself.
Kal Andrews
Trust. No gays would want to even touch this Hobbit.

@Giancarlo85: Carlin was funny and still did sold out performances to his dying day. I remember seeing his last performance and was stunned to hear he died just a few months later. Most definitely one of the greats.
Caoimhin Mikael Lycke
Oy, such a homely man.
musctop
People under 60 dont even know who he is. I had to google him. Sad old man trying to get into the news.
Dakotahgeo
The olive-colored turd couldn’t get a date with his mirror-image! He already looks embalmed! What a boorrr!
DimAsAnEmber
Whatever, we’ll just shake it off. He looks close to death, anyway.

@Kal Andrews: What did Hobbits ever do to you to bear such an insult? 😉

This guy wasnt funny 45 years ago and he still isnt…what an old out of touch douchebag…
BitterOldQueen
What is a “Jackie Mason,” please?
Zombie_Killer
You come from ancestors that endured the holocausts and you have the nerve to be predigest against others. Hate coming from who were at onetime hated, how sad for you.
