Mort Sahl passed away today.

Mort Sahl, whose political comedy set the bar for future humorists, dies at 94 – The Washington Post

Some of you remember him. You’ve certainly seen comedians influenced by him. His comedy was so topical that it’s sometimes hard to appreciate unless you’re well versed in the current events of the time.

But he was smart, he was funny, and he’s still important. Rest in peace.

I got rid of cable about ten years ago. I subscribe to Netflix, the Disney+/Hulu/ESPN package, Apple TV+, and HBO Max. I have Amazon Prime Video through my Amazon Prime membership. Altogether that comes to about $60 a month and I watch the hell out of all of them. Yesterday I watched the latest episodes of The Morning Show and Foundation and the new Dune movie. Today I’m catching up on Invasion. Tomorrow the new episode of Succession comes out. I’m not looking back.

Stay healthy and safe.

Peter Scolari, stage and TV actor who won an Emmy for ‘Girls,’ dies at 66 – The Washington Post

You might remember him from Bosom Buddies, with Tom Hanks.

Or from Newhart.

He might not have had the level of success that Tom Hanks has, but he had steady work for his entire career and won an Emmy.

Rest in peace.

Stay healthy and safe.
