Jackie Mason, 91, Born In 1928 – The Simpsons

The story of how Jackie Mason (born Yacov Moshe Maza) became a comedian is as hilarious as his jokes. Born to a Jewish family, Mason became a rabbi after graduating from college. Not long after, more people would gather to hear his sermons just because they were over-the-top funny.

Mason decided to become a comedian, and for good reason because today, he ranks 63rd on Comedy Central’s 100 best stand-up comedians in history. With a unique comedic style (often politically incorrect), he has managed to net a $9 million fortune. Since Mason is now in his nineties, he doesn’t work as much as he used to.
