(Chicago Tribune) - An irate Jackie Mason defended himself Wednesday over allegations that he demanded a local comic of Palestinian descent be removed as his opening act at Zanies comedy club this week because of ethnicity. "It never involved me," said Mason at a news conference. Mason repeatedly said he didn't care about Hanania's ethnicity or that Hanania has only been performing comedy for nine months. "I have no problem with the fact that he's a Palestinian," Mason said. Zanies general manager Linda Moses made the decision to drop Hanania from Mason's performances. She said there were several phone calls, some threatening, about Mason and Hanania's pairing. Mason said he was livid that Hanania called the media about the firing and implied that Mason was directly involved. "He knew how to keep my name alive in the situation even though it didn't belong there," Mason said. "And he didn't care about what the implications are to me. How it would hurt me or affect me." 2002-08-30 00:00:00Full Article
