Do you remember his kinky afro? Thought that was cool when I was young. I actually got some hairspray and messed my hair up to look the same.

I know him mainly for inspiring the aardvark voice in the Ant and the Aardvark theatrical cartoons.
The cartoon follows attempts of a blue aardvark named Aardvark (sometimes he claims that he is an anteater) (voiced by John Byner,[1][2][3] impersonating comedian Jackie Mason), to catch and eat a red ant named Charlie (also voiced by John Byner,[1][2][3] but impersonating Dean Martin), usually doing so by inhaling with a loud vacuum cleaner sound.

That's rough. I saw (poor) footage allegedly of a young Jackie Mason performing in 1948, when he was about 20 years old (pictures too). He goes back a long way, at least to the early 1950s when he skirted the regular circuit. I guess to when Don Rickles was making ripples.

I freakin' love John Byner. If not for Bud Cort, should have coupled with Carol Kane, just perfect.

Never; just the opposite. One of those comedians who has never been the least bit funny, but tells everyone he is, so in a way he's actually anti-funny (another example is Ellen DeGeneres). Worse, when he was on Broadway years ago in some one-man stand-up show, he was furious that he didn't get a Tony nomination and claimed that the Tony judges were anti-Semites. They had to give him a "special" Tony award just to placate him. Years later, when he was on Broadway in a new stand-up show (which reportedly was a rehash of his stale routines), he returned the first award in protest after not getting a nomination for the new show. Doesn't sound like a fun guy.

Marianne he always seemed bad tempered and unpleasant to me. Jack Carter was another. Actually a lot of comics were pretty crazy, had terrible boundaries, unpleasant lives....etc

I never really did but I hope that never bothered him.
He reached a good age.
