The other day, I posted an item about an upcoming one-night-only tribute to Mort Sahl. Here's the website and as you can see, the roster of scheduled performers is truly impressive…
Larry King will be the host. This is only possible because I didn't kill him Tuesday evening…although I came close. (I still have the suspender prints on my bumpers.) The rest of the list consists of Albert Brooks, Jay Leno, Drew Carey, Bill Maher, Shelley Berman, David Steinberg, Richard Lewis, Paula Poundstone, Jonathan Winters, David Brenner, Kevin Nealon, Jack Riley and a taped appearance by Woody Allen. I'm told there will also be at least two other very special performers whose names cannot yet be mentioned…and I'm guessing that Mort's going to say a word or two, as well.
The event will not be televised. It will not even be recorded. So I'll be there.
