“#Jackie Mason dead at 93<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Famed Borscht Belt comedia<\/a>n Jackie Mason, who rose from a modest childhood on the Lower East Side to become one of the most famous funnymen of all time, has died. He was 93.<\/p>\n

Mason died at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan Saturday, with his wife Jyll and a few friends by his side, longtime pal and lawyer Raoul Felder told The Post. <\/p>\n

There will be a small, private funeral service Sunday in New York, said Felder, who declined to name the location. A larger, public memorial service is expected at a later date, the lawyer noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe shall never see his like again. This was a mold that was broken,\u201d an emotional Felder said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to miss him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mason was born in Sheboygan, Wis., to immigrant parents from Belarus. The family moved to Manhattan when little Yacov Moshe Maza, as he was then known, was just 5-years old, according to The New York Times<\/a>, which first reported his death. <\/p>\n

An ordained rabbi, Mason was frequently stopped on the street wherever he went, and always took the time to listen, Felder said. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe spoke to everybody and listened to their troubles,\u201d recalled Felder, who wrote a series<\/a> of books with Mason. \u201cHe used to listen to all the waiters\u2019 complaints.\u201d<\/p>\n

He was even the favorite comedian of the Queen Mother and Prince Charles<\/a>, and performed frequently for the royals. <\/p>\n

Mason caused a stir after one performance for the Queen Mother, when he refused to wait afterward and bow to her, recalled Felder, who described Mason as \u201cvery smart and very opinionated.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end the whole cast lined up and waited and bowed when a member of royalty came over. Jackie was having none of this,\u201d Felder remembered. \u201cHe just left. It became a big story \u2014 he\u2019d walked out on the Queen Mum. So he invented a story that he couldn\u2019t stay there anymore because he was sick.\u201d<\/p>\n

His famed one-man show, \u201cThe World According to Me!\u201d made him a triumph of Broadway in the 1980s, and in 1968, he was banned from \u201cThe Ed Sullivan Show\u201d after the host mistakenly believed Mason gave him the middle finger during an interruption. <\/p>\n

Known for his \u201cBorscht Belt\u201d style of comedy, often seen in the era of Catskill summer resort entertainment, Mason\u2019s trademark was continuing that kind of performance style long after the resorts were mere memories. <\/p>\n

The doctors and nurses attending to Mason, who had been hospitalized for two weeks and three days, wept when he died, Felder said. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey were all fans of his. They were all crying,\u201d he said. \u201cHe was like a shooting star that comes every 100 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the world has lost a very unique individual.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
