My father once ran into him at a restaurant. One of the greatest comedians since the 1950s.

May his memory be a blessing. Thanks for the laughter.

He literally ran into me in Shubert Alley, headed toward his show (in full makeup, about 5 min. before his curtain). He apologized and went on his way. I didn’t realize who it was until I saw his marquee leaving Dolly.

He had a lasting career of over 70 years. Multiple solo shows and tours. Fans around the world.

You’ve got a BroadwayWorld profile, Amoni.

He was a legend.

Jackie Mason was a funny guy, and I miss him already.  A true legend by any definition.

Damn straight. Decades of comedy = legendary. Dude was hilarious, and doing very ethnic comedy at a time when that was simply not the norm.

Here you go Amoni: an extremely famous or notorious person, especially in a particular field.

Like him or not, he was a legend.
