Timeless Tuesday Comedy Showcase: Jackie Mason on the 2000 Presidential Election

We've been posting funny video clips from the past on Thursdays for many years, but there are so many good ones out there that we're expanding the project to selected Tuesdays, calling the series Timeless Tuesday Comedy Showcase.

We have resisted posting comedy videos about the current presidential election because of the heated political environment and strong passions about the candidates. But we think enough time has passed to be able to look back 24 years to the contest between George W. Bush and Al Gore.

And what better commentator on the political scene in 2000 than comedian Jackie Mason. In January 2001 he was a guest on a Canadian talk show hosted by standup comedian Mike Bullard.

Bullard was a Canadian stand-up comic and broadcaster. He was the host of two late-night talk shows, Open Mike with Mike Bullard on CTV from 1997 to 2003 and The Mike Bullard Show on Global from 2003 to 2004.

In this video clip from Bullard's talk show, Jackie Mason carries on about the ridiculous aspects of the election. He observes that 90 million gentiles voted but the result will depend on seven old Jews in wheelchairs in Miami.

Enjoy!

Throwback Thursday Comedy Special: Alan King and Johnny Carson Talk About Bad Food and Bad Restaurants

Today we're turning the calendar back 38 years to 1985 when Alan King and Johnny Carson talked about their experiences with bad food served in bad restaurants.

The conversation was triggered by King giving Carson a copy of his newly published book, "Is Salami and Eggs Better than Sex?"

Alan King appeared on the Johnny Carson Tonight Show a total of 73 times. He was a frequent guest on the show and often appeared as a guest host. King was a well-known comedian and actor who was popular in the 1950s and 1960s, and his appearances on the Tonight Show helped to solidify his status as one of the greats of his time.

Enjoy!
