Political satirist Mark Russell died on Thursday at his home in Washington, D.C. He was 90 years old. The Beltway satirist's death came after a battle with prostate cancer, his wife told the Washington Post.

Russell played musical parodies on the piano for more than half a century, poking fun at the absurdities of American politics.

His career included several PBS comedy specials from 1975 to 2004, and he also hosted NBC’s news magazine show "Real People" from 1979 to 1984.   "Oh both sides of a question I can speak with rash impunity and I can sing a different song and please each damn community," Russell sang in this parody of a "Pirates of Penzance" song about political pandering. "I plan to say what pleases every kind of resident until I count enough of them to vote for me as president.

In short because I bear in mind that winning’s very critical, I am the very model of a candidate political!" Russell continued to perform until 2017 when he satirized the 2016 presidential election.

Roy Wood Jr. Roasts Media Scandals at White House Correspondents Dinner, But Has Soft Spot for Local Journalism
Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor Comedian Roy Wood Jr. did something many guests at the annual White House Correspondents Dinner forget to do: celebrate journalism. In a series of funny remarks that took on everything from Don Lemon to Fox News Channel’s massive $787.5 million settlement to Dominion Voting to President Biden’s age, Wood devoted significant time to calling for support for local journalism, noting that reporters working for regional and local media outlets are often the first to spot malfeasance or something wrong. He also mentioned his father’s work in local radio and his mother’s career in education. The comments added a personal touch to the proceedings, which are organized each year by the White House Correspondents Association and meant to call attention to the mission of holding government officials accountable in reporting meant to be consumed by the American public.
