message: From YouTube: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZygecG1Onw  Worthy addition?
:Probably not. But a link to the YT channel might be a good idea. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:54, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: Anti-French sentiment

message: Why so many "quotes" on his feelings toward Islam? Whilst they are genuine, his political opinions hardly seem to be his most quotable quotes. The guy's a stand up comic. Politics is a side-hobby and I would have thought some humor was more appropriate than what appears to be fuel for argument.
>His views of Islam and Muslims are not his "political" views, but his views of a minority group. I think it's important for us to have an understanding of his opinions, so whoever deleted that section, put it back.
Islam as murderous religion? The Jews killed so people (and used terrorisim) to create Israel. Islam is no more muderous than Judiamim. What Mason has basically said it's it ok for violence aginst Islam as long as there's nothing bad said about Judiasim. What a f**king hypocrite.

Islam is no more muderous [sic] than Judiamim[sic]
One would have to be a moron to have formed this view. The basic illiteracy of the above comment's author leaves little doubt as to this being the reason.
> Yeah. A spelling error discredits his entire opinion, does it? Jews murdered and displaced native Palestinians and other Arabic populations to create Israel... this is fact. Their justification being that it's God's will for "his people" to have their homeland in Palestine, besides which are the many instances where Jewish beliefs state Jews are above gentiles.

Question: How to link to part about Rabbi Hyman Krustofski to the profile of Rabbi Krustofski on the list of recurring Simpsons characters
Rephrase that, would you? I'm a Simpson's wonk, and I'd be glad to help on that, but I'm a little unclear on Wiki terminology and practice. BarrettBrown 03:44, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Aliens created Israel out of the sky with lasers...this is fact. There, now that I said something bizarre, unhinged, and offensive, I'm cured by just baldly claiming it's a fact. This works in S5. 69.253.219.207 (talk) 14:41, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mason on Islam 

message: Not sure if this should be linked in the entry or not (external links?), but he was interviewed on Fox recently regarding this whole drunken Mel Gibson fiasco.  It's quite humorous, as expected (and spot on, IMO): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gct84oE5DEE gRegor 15:52, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

:* If it went to the highest court in the state, that is called the New York State Court of Appeals, and the language is inaccurate.  
:* If it was decided in a New York State Supreme Court, then it was decided in a county-level court of first instance, and the language is misleading without further explanation.

thread_title:  Venue of the '60s  suit 

message: Anybody want to change the link within the first topic about One Angry Man to actually link to the motion film, and not a Ghost in the Shell episode?  I couldn't even find a page that has the film.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by TedKennedyX (talk • contribs) 02:44, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  2009 motion picture 

message: Jackie Mason claimed that the term "schravse" only means "black" and has no deragatory connotations.
Those of you unfamiliar with the term should observe this little clip of an anti-black Jew giving a speech at a racist conference:

thread_title:  The offensiveness of the term "schvartze" 

message: Wasn't Jackie Mason Blacklisted by Hollywood in the 1950's or 1960's, causing him to loose alot of mainline work for the longest time.  On scanning the article, offhand, I see no references on this story, that I heard in the 1980's, about Jackie Mason.  I looked in the discussion section too, and no mention, of this black mark on Hollywood's act during those days of common blacklisting.  What is he, chopped liver, to not get the whole story right, by the historians, already? LoneRubberDragon (talk) 18:38, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Blacklisting. 

message: Half this article seems to be about controversial things he said.  The guy is has been a comedian since 1961 and that’s all anyone has to say about him?  I’m not defending anything he has said, but shouldn’t the article be about his career as a comedian, not the derivation of the word "schvartze"?
I’m not Jewish, and actually don’t like his comedy.  But this article seems to have a political agenda.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.18.99.150 (talk) 05:23, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Over-weighted controversies 

message: Some doubt as to the year of Jackie Mason's birth?  Some references give 1931.  This entry gives 1936.  Cany anyone please confirm which is correct?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.149.18.67 (talk) 01:16, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: 1931 seems to be the most supported year. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:46, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

text: There seems to be a problem with the NYPost article being behind a pay wall? Are any such NY Police records also available in the public domain? Martinevans123 (talk) 12:18, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

text: Yes, you're right, the cop's report in the NYP supports a birth year of 1928 or 1929. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:30, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

text: This sentence was also added by another editor: "He has 1 daughter, Sheba Mason, from a relationship with Ginger Reiter (never married)." Does anyone have any source for this claim? The recent bout of birth year "adjustments" has also included the removal of the name of this daughter. But although her name appears in the info box, her parentage she seems not to be supported by any ref in the text. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:10, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

text: Well "30 year old" in a headline is a bit headline-ese, isn't it? Even when it's NYT? I suspect that, at that time, the newspaper would have used whatever age Mason's agent told them to use. But do you have access to the text of the whole article, or is that behind a pay-wall? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:26, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Year of birth 

message: It says: "At age 25, he received semikhah from Moshe Feinstein and was ordained a rabbi (as his three brothers, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather had been), in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.[3] Three years later he resigned to become a comedian." You can't resign from semikhah -- it's a degree. It's like saying someone got a PhD but later resigned. Being a rabbi is only a title unless you are a rabbi of a synagogue. If that's true, then that's worth a mention. Otherwise, this makes no sense.--Bobjohnson111980 (talk) 03:30, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point; thank you. The text only repeated what was in the preceding source. Fortunately another source tells what it is he resigned from; I edited the text accordingly and added the new citation. Hertz1888 (talk) 06:56, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Real year of birth 

message: I'm confused about something, in the article it states that The Jackie Mason Show aired on CN8: The Comcast Network filmed at its studios in Union, New Jersey yet all of the videos of the show I've found on YouTube or another video streaming service at the end credits it states a copyright notice by WWOR-TV Inc. and from watching the show it was filmed at WWOR's studios in Secaucus, New Jersey not Comcast's studios in Union. Further, WWOR and Comcast have nothing to do with each other, at the time that the show aired WWOR-TV was still owned by Pinelands Inc. and Comcast was owned by the Roberts family. Per Wikipedia IMDB is not considered a reliable source and should not be used, so how can we verify accurate information? YborCityJohn (talk) 08:46, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
