Category 2053 - Question 102Who am I?Mort Sahl (left), a Canadian-born American comedian and actor, widely considered the
first modern
stand-up comedian. He was the first comedian to dress casually and speak about
current
events in a matter-of-fact style. He broke new ground in the late 1950s and early 1960s by
looking to the day's
newspaper headlines for many of his monologues rather than relying on
one-liners.
