Best Of: Sarah Silverman / Cole Escola

Category: Arts
Duration: 00:48:19

Description: Comic Sarah Silverman talks about her new Netflix special, PostMortem, about the death of her father and stepmother, 9 days apart. She talks with Terry Gross about how the special came to be.

Also, we hear from Cole Escola, creator and star of the hit Broadway comedy Oh Mary! It's an intentionally ridiculous reimagining of first lady Mary Todd Lincoln. It portrays her as having become addicted to alcohol, not because of the Civil War, but because she's desperately yearning for her only true love, cabaret.

Plus, Ken Tucker reviews new albums by Willie Nelson and Ken Pomeroy.
