Jackie Mason at his best.

"One must be open minded to understand Jackie's jokes. His show on Broadway is a test of intelligence and of being a fine human being, completely genuine. We need public figures with a license to say everything about everybody. "Is Obama black?" "If I have a pair of shoes, one is black and the other is white, do I have black shoes?" "Doesn't Obama look like a Jewish boy with a tan?" Impossible to have the same audience for every joke.

Above all, I laughed from the bottom of my heart. This is the final goal of Jackie. To take away the tragic and make fun of the pretensions of many personalities who forgot who they really are and where they come from. Here is a speech of Governor Schwarzenegger: :"Blaah, Buah, Blah, beeh, California.. California beehbuah blah.... California"

He mixes many Yiddish terms and I would have appreciated a closed captioned version of the DVD. I rented it twice from Netflix and I will buy it. A classic..."
