Hi Mort, Glad to see you're still going strong at 90. I met you years ago through Paul Cacia. I remember the liner notes you wrote for one of his albums.
It's crazy to see what at that time Mort considered people being "desensitized". Like people being bisexual was so shocking that allwoing it on tv meant for him that people had gone through so much traumatizing things that they didn't care about it anymore.
Mort is Gone but he lives on in EVERY LATE NIGHT HOST! I dare you to find a True difference, other than time and what's allowed on" Normal TV/ Entertainment today.
Mort Sahl...funniest man alive. Nobody is doing that insightful comedy, that trenchant comedy these days. The most political of them hasn't his wit and the funniest of them isn't as clever. Political comedy these days is based on being mean, not insightful. Sahl's comedy is insightful. I disagree with a good deal of what he has to say, but he attacked the regressive left before we knew there was one as well as the alt-right before it existed. And he got along with the entire political spectrum. Kennedy's father hated him, but Kennedy liked him and so did Reagan. LBJ...I'm not so sure.
"Life will outdistance art" 👍😊
We need more comedians like Mort Sahl today. He was pretty cool.
Two legends talking it out and giving omaje!
Fascinating dialogue between two greats in re the history of comedy -but why the abrupt cutoff?
A lot of "Yumor" in that room.

Word has it that Sahl's going a little weaker here in '22, unfortunately

Mort was allowed to live. Why?
You are. Why?
@@JustElia420 I guess Kevin Bell is far beyond sensibility.
What a dumb troll. You must be one of those comedians who didn't understand Mort.
