Haven't heard this guys name in quite a while.

Mort Sahl, Standup Comic With Biting Wit, Dies at 94​

Mort Sahl, a trailblazing political satirist whose biting wit and uncompromising intellect broadened the world of conventional standup comedy, died Tuesday in Mill Valley, Calif. He was 94.

The New York Times confirmed his death with his friend, Lucy Mercer.

In 1953, when Sahl first appeared at the Hungry i, a San Francisco folk singer’s hangout, he was an unknown with little stage experience. But his rapid-fire monologues about politics, social trends and fads quickly earned him the nickname “Rebel Without a Pause.”

Interesting.

I had never heard of him. I just watched a vid on YouTube that he conveyed that he was close to Lenny Bruce.
