 Name: Jamie Masada Role: Jamie Masada, the owner of a West Hollywood comedy club, The Laugh Factory, is alleged to have introduced Michael Jackson to the cancer-stricken boy he has been accused of molesting. Profile: In 2001, when the boy was diagnosed as having only 2-3 weeks to live, Masada arranged for the meeting of Jackson and the boy at the request of the child. Apparently, Masada met the boy at a camp where stars teach underprivileged children about comedy. He said the boy told him how he would like to meet Jackson and Masada made "a few phone calls." Masada has, by desire or necessity, placed himself in the position of being the unofficial spokesperson for the family or, at the very least, the information conduit for the media. Biographical sketch: Jamie Masada came to the United States at the age of 14 and always wanted to be a famous comedian. He had several odd jobs and saved his money. Eventually, he opened the successful Laugh Factory on Sunset Blvd in 1979. Today it’s one of the best known comedy stages in the world. Masada is also heavily involved in the community as he offers his club to numerous charity organizations to use for benefits. Information for this backgrounder was gleaned from various sources on the Internet. |
