Subject: "When Comedy Went to School: Those Catskill
Comics"
From the late 1940's to the early 70's the Catskill Hotels
provided the settings for the most important and
fascinating period in the development of contemporary
humour. During that time, comedy went to school.....and
what a graduating class! Danny Kaye was fired after
working one day...he was considered "much too crazy".
Much too crazy for the Catskills? He must have been
something!
Lenny Bruce and Buddy Hackett lived together, worked
as busboys. Irving Kniberg and Joseph Levitch started
there....better known as Alan King and Jerry Lewis. Sid
Caesar was a pretty fair saxophone player....pretty fair
also at creating characters, skits, especially when teamed
with Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner pre- "Show of Shows."
Geroge Jessel made his last insulting remark up there -
Don Rickles his first. Mort Sahl, Phil Silvers, Henny
Youngman, Jackie Mason...the list goes on and on.
WHEN COMEDY WENT TO SCHOOL: THOSE
CATSKILL COMICS will be the first documentary to
examine and re-visit the unique environment that
produced numerous comedic legends. The Catskills
profoundly influenced the content, style and presentation
of American comedy, and left a truly remarkable and
lasting impact on stand-up, television and film. During this
one-hour special, we'll go on location to the Catskill's
hotels/sites where it began...connecting the past with the
vast present day opportunities for new generations of
vacationers looking for fun and entertainment..
The time has long since past to honor these gifted
funny-men and the hotels in Sullivan County, N.Y., that
allowed them to find, develop and perfect their style. They
were consistently up against the toughest audiences in the
world---"you had to bang 'em" or they walked. The
young comics, along with hotel impresario's watched and
listened and learned and changed American humour,
make that 'world humor'.........forever
