Comedian and ex-Rabbi Jackie Mason has died. He was 93.

Variety |

Jackie Mason, the sometimes-controversial standup comedian who unapologetically embraced Jewish themes and political incorrectness, achieving a national profile through a series of successful one-man shows on Broadway without substantial work in film or television, died Saturday in Manhattan. He was 93.

The New York Times said his death was confirmed by his friend Raoul Felder.

Mason was one of the last of the Borscht Belt comedians, and he married that sensibility to strong views on racial and ethnic politics.

He also recurred on “The Simpsons” as the voice of Rabbi Hyman Krustofsky, the father of Krusty the Clown, winning his second Emmy for his efforts in 1992 and most recently voicing the character in a 2014 episode. He also appeared as himself in a 2007 episode of “30 Rock.”

....

Mason is survived by his wife, Jyll Rosenfeld, whom he married in 1991, and a daughter.

I remember him on that TV show Chicken soup from the 80's. R.I.P

As well as Krusty's dad on the Simpsons

I remember seeing him on TV sometimes as a kid. He lived a good long life. R.I.P.
