3. He Was Working Until COVID Shut Down The Theaters in California

Luckily they are online.. Weekly show with a live audience and they would also take anyone's question from Periscope/Twitter.



He had the best line about Trump.. He asked aloud:

"I wonder how Trump would have handled Hitler?"
""I'd FIRE Him!"

7. I remember saying in that ironic, mock indignant, aware way of his, 'define your

terms'. Felt lastingly funny . . . still.

8. Right! "Act Normal"

That was on the Sunset album, the first to be recognized as the first comedy album (with an audience) by the Library of Congress.

Unfortunately for Mort, it was stolen by the Weiss Brothers from Fantasy Records, and he was never paid for it. He says this in an interview from about 2011, which is on YouTube.
