Jackie Mason: Emmy-Winning Voice Of “The Simpson’s” ‘Rabbi Hyman Krustofski Passes At Age 93

Always politically incorrect, a true standard-bearer for breaking comedy conventions, the one and only Jackie Mason has passed away at the age of 93.

In 1992, Mason won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance for his voice-over of Rabbi Hyman Krustofski in The Simpsons episode “Like Father, Like Clown”,  making him the first guest star to win an Emmy for his role. Mason has also appeared in The Simpsons episodes “Today I Am a Clown”, “Once Upon a Time in Springfield”, “The Ten-Per-Cent Solution”, “At Long Last Leave”, and “Clown in the Dumps”; the last episode focuses upon Rabbi Krustofski’s death and its effects on his son, Krusty the Clown.

Jackie, a longtime Republican, was very outspoken in his support of the expulsion of the people of Palestine, but was also known as one of the pre-emminent stand-up comedians of our time. Jackie is survived by his wife Jyll Rosenfeld and daughter Sheba Mason, the latter of whom is a working stand-up in her own right.
