Mort Sahl: Legendary comedian and satirist dies at age 94

Legendary US comedian and political satirist Mort Sahl - who skewered US presidents from Dwight Eisenhower to Donald Trump - has died.

Born in Montreal, Sahl moved with his family to Los Angeles as a child and got his start as a comedian at San Francisco's beatnik hungry i club. Known for his trademark sweater and loafers - at a time when performers often wore tuxedos - Sahl would come on to stage carrying a newspaper with notes for his act written on it.

Following the Democrat's assassination, Sahl's career took a downturn as he dedicated large portions of his shows to ridiculing the official account of the Kennedy assassination.

Rip Mort.

😭😭

RIP
