Sandra Bernhard on Her Illustrious Career, Unwavering Self-Confidence, and the Election

Sandra Bernhard lives by her own rules. It was her biting and groundbreaking stand-up that rose her from relative obscurity to international levels of acclaim, pioneering her way through the late 1970s and 80s. Before searing performances and numerous iconic late-night appearances, she was cast by Martin Scorcese in 1983 to appear in his black comedy drama flick, The King of Comedy.
