Mort Sahl May 7, 2009

Lauded for his fearless brand of political satire and incisive view of the human condition, Mort Sahl was the first humorist on the cover of Time magazine, the first performer to make a comedy album and the first non-musician to win a Grammy Award. Today, the acerbic yet warm and likeable Sahl is just as funny and active as ever, delivering barbs in his trademark staccato style, red sweater and rolled up newspaper.
