TERRIFYING AND LEGENDARY MASKED INTERVIEW WITH REAL LIFE MAFIA HITMAN MAX "JOEY" KURSCHNER WHO HIMSELF WAS THE VICTIM OF A MAFIA HIT IN 1982
The David Susskind Show (1958 - 1986) was television's most ground-breaking talk/debate show. Susskind was the first to bring on multiple guests, whether they were political figures or call girls - together on a set to have no-holds-barred debate of current issues. Susskind's show was the first to offer wide-open, unrestrained conversation about issues of the day. Celebrities, politicians or regular civilians let their guard down and talked freely about themselves.
Guests included Phil Spector, Neil Simon, Neil Diamond, Gore Vidal, Truman Capote, Nikita Krushev, Stanley Carmichael, Lillian Hellman, Bill Cosby, Mel Brooks, Marlon Brando, Steve Roebel, Robert Kennedy, Paul Newman and many more!
The Susskind interviews are among the most in depth and intimate of their day. 1100 shows transferred from their original 2" video masters.

This guy tried to kill me when I was a kid. My parents ended up forgetting to bring me on a huge family vacation on Christmas. And this guy and his partner were going to rob our house. Luckily I had boobie trapped the whole house that they perfectly fell for every time... I remember he came close to biting my fingers off but my new friend who I originally thought was a killer hit hom with a shovel you wouldn't expect to do anything but luckily it worked.
Alen Cato I would advise you to swing paint cans down from the stairs next time. Worked for me.
😂😂
Home Alone mf???
Yeah? Did you also get touched by Michael like Macaulay Culkin, stupid? Fucking BOO.
Alen Cato at one point did you look at a picture of your brother’s girlfriend then say “woof”?
4:37 “[My old man] did the best he could with what he had. He had it, we had it. He didnt, we didnt. He tried, what more could I ask him for?”. Always admire that family respect.
Nothing to respect when you live a life of crime.
@@kennypowerz1267 stfu a crime is a crime no matter what stealing lieing for personal gain is a crime just like our poliction make up laws for us to die suffer for personal gains
The most surprising and scary thing to me is that serial killers like this one are the most silent and calmest persons in the world.
He wouldn't be by definition considered a serial killer. Subtle but important differences.
He’s not serial killer
I grew up around some similar men.
They are just people that didn’t have any opportunity or see that they had any other opportunities.
People that come from from nothing tend to be more compassionate and loyal and fierce and manipulative and generous and giving.
It just happens that this is the way they make $.
It’s so normal when you are in that type of environment especially when you basically are being intentionally or non intentionally groomed.
This guy would literally kill for you if you were his friend…….I’m sure most of you reading this have no clue what it feels like to receive that type of love and loyalty.
Most of your “friends” wouldn’t lend you $100 or come to your help in a fight.
That’s the real nyc. Both interviewer and the interviewee.
100%
At one time the baddest place in the world
The killa joeiiiiyyy lol. Yup old school
Oo
Come on really..?? You actually believe that he was getting paid 20K ? I will let everybody know right now that if he had his button (was a made man) the boss's of the families had so many guys around them that were not really earners (turning in the big envelopes) and had to have them quote on quote on the payroll meaning taking home some $$ every week or they would have disappeared soo while the guys who were good with there brain were taking care of their part of the family, the other guys that were real tough guys and we're good with their hands when something had to be handled the boss gave the order and they went out and took care of business like I said if this guy was straightened out he was not getting paid to commit obligations that he was supposed to take care of as being part of the family don't get me wrong every here and there the family may want to have an outsider take care of it for whatever reasons (did not want other family members or other families to know they were involved) and hire a private HiTmaN to take care of the problem but although it did happen it was never something that happened regularly anywhere or anytime... remember that these guys were always looking for a dollar and to me I see no difference here in that interview just now he's trying to make his dollars off fictational stories by selling his book.... I don't want to talk about someone who is no longer around and I assume he is no longer around considering in the interview he says he was married in 1950 something... I just wanted the people who don't know how that lifestyle really worked to open their eyes a bit people who were con artists usually stayed con artists for the remainder of their lives.. 💵💸💲💰💵💸💵💲💰💸💵
"You ever shot anybody with a long range .22?"
"Well yes, ofcourse. Who hasnt." -David Susskind lol
Technically speaking, the "R" in 22 LR stands for "Rifle." 🤣
The clues this guy is giving about his past, orphanages, Foster homes, father 3 manslaughters, broken neck ect ect, I'm surprised he hasn't been caught up with long ago.
He died in 1982
@@Boxing41972 oh OK thanks for that I didn't know 👍
Whats his name?
@@johanandersson3447 Max "Joey" Kurschner
He was shot by a shotgun not too long after this interview
This is like putting a face mask on Morgan Freeman and thinking we won't know who it is.
Who is it?
@@jonelle94took a couple months apparently but people believe this is max kurschner something like tha
Like he said later in the interview, he doesn't care whether he lives or dies, he never got anyone put away with his book or interviews, and also wasn't a made guy so he wasn't breaking omerta or anything. Everyone found out who he was a few months after the book was published anyway, because he didn't pay taxes on the book sales and got brought to court for it.
I met Max at a hotel mid January 1982. I was there for training at a computer company. He kept asking me to go out to dinner. I kept saying no thanks. On the 20th, he asked me out for a pizza, I declined again. As I got to my room I heard a shotgun blast. My phone immediately started ringing - it was the hotel manager telling me my 'friend ' had fallen. I run out to him to see him on his belly. I rolled him over to see a multiple pellets from a shotgun deader than a door nail. The wound was not anywhere near as gory as you would think. His car was parked so I would have to have gotten in on his side. The take away is when traveling don't go out with strangers...I have no doubt I would have been dead too.
He was hitting on you and you missed the opportunity.
You could have been up stairs making love and he never woulda got shot.
Wow
Bullcrap
"my old man put em to sleep"
This guy should be in a movie 🍿
I saw Joey speak at Ball State in 1975 or 76. Still chilling to this day.
He dead blown away in Vegas
@@groznytoe3398 who was this? And OP where was he speaking? Did he have a mask then or what
@@perculated7666 he is talking bollocks
Lying 🤥
You sure you seen him?
The thing I find interesting is that some people are saying he's a psychopath, and others are arguing he's not because he couldn't sleep the first time. Personally I'm not sure what I think he is but I think it's important to note that he specifically says he was unable To sleep because he was nervous about things such as the discarding of evidence. This seems like He was worried about himself getting caught not feeling guilty.
We’ll duh
I think it's all b******* because the mafia does not pay people to do hits. Don't take my word for it. Ask Michael franzese or Sammy the bull or any other old mafioso. You're part of the group, you're expected to do work. Otherwise you wouldn't have been made part of the group if you couldn't do it.
You throw up the first time you commit murder.
@@lonaldmcdonald8907 not true for everyone
he could be a psychopath and he was definitely more paranoid about getting caught than feeling guilty about the actual murder but its hard to say if hes psychopathic kr not because he does seem to have a conscious and makes connections with people but again no one really knows how deep those connections really are
You may not know this, but this guy singlehanded killed 16 Czechoslovakians and at the time he was an interior decorator.
Hahahah ehh Uncle Paulie Walnuts!! Lol don’t worry, I recognized the reference
Let the painter paint
I was shocked when he revealed his wife died!!! I'm glad he got his revenge
If you had this guy in your life you would know who he is even with that mask on.
Exactly that's the one thing that makes this seem "off"
@@greghill1106 is it real or not?
When Joey was knocked in 1982 by a single shotgun blast, his brother told reporters “I just figured his time was due.”…
This guy has a likable personality
you are 20 years older thats weird to say
Bet you fuckin hate him 20 years on lol.
Trademark of a psychopath
I like his face
He's straight forward, unlike most people. That's what's likable.
They killed he’s wife and kid the revenge killings I understand.
Max Kurschner A.K.A. "Joey" was indeed a Jewish old school mobster who worked under
his boss Meyer Lansky.
Kurschner was a degenerate gambler with a pension for the horses. After what some believe was a falling out with the mob due to the unwanted attention he was generating, Kurschner found his way to Vegas and then the S.F. Bay Area. Accounts show that "Joey" was spending much of his dwindling money & time at the area tracks. It would be at one such Bay Area track (San Mateo) that in 1982 Kurschner's past and time would eventually meet with his end via a shotgun wielding unidentified assailant.
Is he still alive this fellow?
@carrietaylor6658 did you read where he was blown away with a shotgun in 82 and his name was max kurshner?
atleast he has guidelines and kills them as quickly as possible
Hipsters:” I miss gritty New York”
Gritty New York: “I’ve killed 38 people”

I had a stroke trying to read that
Fascinating!!
When an old school hitman seems to be more respect for people than the average person these days
Dead on!
I mean to me this guy seems like a total piece of shit, he doesn't even have respect for life.
signs of the time... wow
One needs to take a life before one can know it's true value
@@ThePlayer920 No dumbass, once you've you've killed for something besides self defense you don't have respect for human life.
Imagine how sad it is that the best feeling you ever had in your life is killing 3 men. Children need love and family. Or we become hurt adults. Praise God
i mean they killed his pregnant wife. that’s enough to make any man crazy
Imagine being a 🐱🐱 and NOT getting revenge for the men who killed your pregnant wife lol 🤡
Not sure if you missed the part where he said those guys killed his pregnant wife. Any man even if he came from the most loving stable family would of sought blood.
No brainer! CONTEXT
So you’re ok with someone killing your pregnant wife and you doing nothing about it 😂 got it
“You ever shot anyone with a long range 22”
Had the host replied “yeah”
That would have made my day, week, and years lmao 😂
lmfaoooooo
“Someone already decided he’s going to die”Damn..
He’s keeping it real
Mob guys sure always are the most confident ones
All the questions he asked him they can trace him wtf but this was very interesting and you got to admit he was on go and putting in that work
Genuinely such a retarded comment
If it's true and he's smart; then he'd casually answer questions but actually be inserting lies (like years given, weapons and even motives).
@@AlchemistOfNirnroot re watch and see if yo comeback was bullshit
@@chazzwilliams762 Work on your language skills before calling me slow.
He wouldn't be giving out important information if it actually could lead back to him.
If he is smart enough to kill 38 people without getting caught then he definitely isn't dumb enough to rat himself out on live television.
There is also a good chance he is just making this shit up, there is no concrete evidence they he was even affiliated, other than his word.
Yeah, you can tell he punched a few tickets on a few unfortunate souls. Old school street tough guy who became a button for the mob.
Not Joe barbosa he's from Boston and this guys from new York accent get it right
This might sound crazy to you, but some people actually share the same name. I live in a midwest city with a large Italian American population. I have a very ethnic Italian name. At least a dozen other ppl share the same name as me....and that's just the one's I'm aware of.

What is the revenge bill?

@@WyldRhino word up I thought it was some sentencing law LOL
@@lildurpy haha nah, I think my phone just f*cked up.
Definitely justified. Any man will be seeing red if someone killed his pregnant wife and broke his neck.
This interview enticed me to want to have this mans job, for one im trigger happy and 2 his carrier sounds exciting 💯💥👌
This man needs his own mafia movie
Stories may be fake, but that accent is for real
His calmness is eerie
“Never felt so good in my life”
No house of worship, not in front of families, no torture, and no robbery. All of things gangs and dudes in 2022 indulge in
“Not the name of the man” this guy knew how to keep his head😂
Just a business transaction. The thing that has always amazed me about mafia gang life is it’s just business to them. Outside of business they have their wife/kids and a “normal” life but under the table they kill and steal like it’s just day to day living.
Idk who’s worse the guy that killed 38 people or the interviewer who let him walk outta that room 🤣
Max "Joey" Kurshner is the hit man being interviewed
How does someone go publicly explaining a crime & not be arrested just confessing to crimes but someone who does crimes privately be cruetly sentenced
Government works with criminals.. nothing new.. these guys are like family. You wonder why so many Italians are policemen🤪
As long as you’re not black anything goes..
not enough evidence and most of these cases are closed they can not trial you for the same case
Also without proof, his word doesn’t mean much. A confession only leads to a conviction when there is sufficient evidence to back it up. That’s why in court, a lot of cases plateau. There is enough evidence for a conviction, but the defendant has not confessed to the crime. If someone walked into a police station and told them he murdered 20 people, without any sort of evidence to back it up, the only thing he could possibly be charged for is obstruction of police (Maybe even providing false evidence if some attempt for evidence was made)
TLDR:
Say what you want to police, you need evidence to back it up.
This should of been a documentary I would of watched this asap
Tremendous!
“To you he’s a criminal to me he’s mY old man”
Man’s was making $59,981 in today’s money at 16 years old back in 1948 for a hit.

A hitman for the mafia named Joey, I never seen it coming
B K its not his real name. His real name is max kurschner.
@@leobeenplakker6505 Do you know who he worked for? His name sounds Jewish.
Dane Kunes Yes he was jewish. Ive searched everywhere on the internet to get Some information about max, But cant find much. I came across someone who gave his oppinion about his autobiography : I bought his autobiography when it came out as a mass market paperback (under the title "Killer") in the early 1970's. I was 12 or 13 years old and read and re-read it many times. I also read his other two books, "Hit #29" (which was also reissued as part of the Adrenaline Classics Series) and "Joey Kills." At that tender age, I thought those books were great and took them as the gospel truth about the mob. The initial book, "Joey the Hitman" (fka Killer) is probably a pretty accurate summary of how the nuts and bolts of the mob worked at that time from a guy who had the worm's eye, street level view. But Kurschner, with Fisher probably as a willing accomplice, almost certainly makes himself seem more important than he ever was. He lets on that he was a close confidant of Meyer Lansky, which is pretty dubious, and also claims that L.A. crime boss Jack Dragna was planning on leaving Kurschner his criminal empire but died before he was adequately trained. The idea that Dragna, a Sicilian born old school mafioso, would have considered a Jewish hood as his successor is laughable. According to an LA Times story in August 1954, Kurschner was arrested for attempting to extort $75 from B movie actor Lane Bradford by offering to "forget" to serve Bradford with legal papers involving a divorce. Pretty small time stuff and less than two years before Dragna's death. "Hit #29" seems authentic enough for the most part, and is a good read, but the third book, "Joey Kills," reads like a screenplay for a bad 1970's crime drama, with scenes that either completely contradict parts of the first book, or are ludicrously contrived, or both.
Ultimately, I think Kurschner was a knock around guy who did some hits, some muscle work, some bookmaking, numbers running, drug dealing and other miscellaneous scams, probably like a lot of street level mob guys of his era. Tough and smart enough to make decent money from time to time, but not enough to hold on to it or get into anything really big. Ironically, the books he did with Fisher, probably one of the few legitimate money making ventures of his adult life, may have been his biggest score. As Fisher pretty much concedes in the forward to "Joey the Hitman," Kurschner created a persona that was somewhat moralizing and self-justifying, and a mob world where nobody got hurt unless he deserved it. I suspect that in reality, like most mob guys, he exhibited many of the characteristics of a psychopath: self centered, lying and manipulative, unable to empathize with others, parasitic lifestyle, etc. And at the end was a pretty pathetic cat.
@@leobeenplakker6505 Thanks for that explanation man. I'm Jewish and do some charity work every now and then for Jewish communities in Brooklyn. Like Brighton Beach area mostly but other places in NYC. Tbh they have a lot of the same inner city problems that you would see in any other community.
