Morley Safer’s Favorite Cartoons

I was very sad to learn that Morley Safer passed away today. I’ve enjoyed his work for years on “60 Minutes,” and it was a true honor to be a guest on the show, in 2014. When we were taping that segment, Morley read out the caption of one of Sam Gross’s cartoons; it made him laugh so much that he couldn’t get it right on any one take, so the final audio had to be spliced together from several takes. (You can see the “60 Minutes” clip here.)
