Russell married his second wife, Alison, on December 17, 1978.
Alison was a television advertising and marketing manager when the pair met.
Did Mark and Alison have any children?
The pair never had children together.
Mark’s first union produced three grown children: Monica, John, and Matthew.

Russell is best known for his political criticism, but no celebrity was immune to his wit.
He is also well-known for his PBS programs, which have broadcast for more than 30 years.
According to The Washington Post: “From the waning years of Dwight Eisenhower’s administration through the presidencies of 10 succeeding chief executives, Mr. Russell poked fun at the foibles and flaws of the well-known, the pompous and the powerful in monologues replete with pithy one-liners and musical ditties.
“He called himself “a political cartoonist for the blind.””
