LISTEN AND READ

Mort Sahl blazed the trail for comics like Lenny Bruce and George Carlin. He was the first to target U.S. presidents with his satire, an unheard of occurrence in the ‘50s. He was also one of the first comedians with a best-selling record. Sahl discovered his stand-up niche after attempts to forge a writing career and talked about things that his audiences felt actually mattered. He was even profiled in a Time cover story—a rarity in the ‘60s for a comedian. Sahl recently celebrated his 80th birthday.
