Famous American comedian and politician Mort Sahl, who persecuted US officials from Dwight Eisenhower to Donald Trump, has died.
He died Tuesday in Mill Valley, California at the age of 94, a friend told AP News.
Sahl’s troubled political career has brought him into the democratic forces since the 1950s and is also seen as an inspiration for contemporary comedy.
The Army Secret of him was paid to lay the groundwork for a political film.
Born in Montreal, Sahl moved with his family to Los Angeles as a child and began his career as a playwright at San Francisco’s hungry beatnik club.
He later became active in sports clubs in the United States. He won his first Grammy Award in 1959 and won the Academy Awards the same year.
He appeared on the cover of Times Magazine in 1960, starred in many films, and was a guest on NBC’s The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.

Known for his iconic sweater and loaves – in an era when filmmakers often wore tuxedos – Sahl made a newspaper with notes of his actions written on it.
He likes to tell stories more than stand upright in the form of a living room.
Fun comedian, Sahl often laughs to himself in all directions, wondering on the show, “Is there anyone here I’ve never hurt?”
“A watchdog is someone who believes in change,” he once told him. “But not now.”
He laughed: “Free people are people who do the right thing for the wrong thing so that they feel good for 10 minutes.”
Sahl sided with President John F Kennedy before writing his campaign jokes. When Kennedy was elected, he was ridiculed again.
After the assassination of the Democrats, Sahl’s career fell apart as he betrayed most of his performances by joking about government reports of Kennedy’s death.
But after the Watergate scandal in the early 1970s, in which Richard Nixon resigned, his career resumed. Sahl’s opposition to the Vietnam War gave him new followers in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
He continued to practice standing for 80 years, even after suffering a stroke. At the age of 80, he began teaching critical thinking at Claremont McKenna College in California. Before the death of his parents, who died in 1996.
