- Episode Description
- There is no comedian in America today who better carries on the traditional folk humor of Mark Twain or Will Rogers than Sam Levenson, teacher-turned-performer trading the blackboard and pointer for stage lights and a microphone. Now he may well boast a classroom of millions of Americans. He shares with us a moment of truth that is sometimes painful but always humorous. As Mr. Levinson tells his stories on stage, we nod and smile at recalling a shared experience, be that broken arm or the family picnic. Or maybe that unforgettable first day of school.
