[on Jackie Mason] Jackie Mason, to me, was brilliant. Not just good or great. Brilliant. And he still is, to me, today. He's a brilliant comedian. But do I like him personally? Not one bit! I never liked him for one minute! I don't like him and none of us [comedians] really liked him. It's hard to like him as a person because he wasn't a nice guy. He just wasn't . . . I don't know how to put it. He just wasn't a hamisha guy. He wasn't a guy you liked. He was kind of a user. But on stage? Brilliant. A brilliant comedian. Absolutely brilliant. Show less «
