Comedian Jackie Mason passed Saturday at Mount Sinai Hospital in NYC. His longtime friend Raoul Felder, tells TMZ. He was 93.
Mason's comedy career spans 60 years. His big break came in 1960, when he appeared on "The Steve Allen Show" and killed. That led to huge bookings at various clubs and regular TV appearances, including "The Ed Sullivan Show" where he appeared 12 times.
His biggest success came in 1986, with his one-man show "The World According to Me!" ... which ran on Broadway for 2 years and earned him a Tony and an Emmy for HBO's take on the show.
The title of his autobiography underscores his Jewish humor -- "Jackie, Oy!"

Taylor Swift fans were surprised as the singer-songwriter dropped a new song to celebrate the one-year anniversary of her album Folklore.
The superstar took to social media on Saturday to share that she was releasing the original version of The Lakes, a bonus track from the Grammy-winning album.
"It’s been 1 year since we escaped the real world together and imagined ourselves someplace simpler. With tall trees & salt air. Where you can wear lace nightgowns that make you look like a Victorian ghost & no one will side eye you cause no one is around," the 31-year-old tweeted.
