During its run, the scripts I wrote for the "Comedy College" show were read by some of the greatest stars in comedy: Lily Tomlin, Rita Rudner, Steve Martin and Bob Newhart.
The show was produced by Garrison Keillor's company in Minnesota, and one of my favorite episodes is the one I wrote about my pal Mort Sahl.
I remember having lunch with Jackie Mason one day, and Jackie was in full bombast. "Can you name any comedian better than me?" he asked. I said, "Well, I can think of one. Mort Sahl." Jackie said, "You're entitled to your opinion. And I'm entitled to tell you your opinion stinks!"
