Comedians Judy Gold and Alan Zweibel, along with filmmaker Ferne Pearlstein join us to discuss her new documentary “The Last Laugh.” Pearlstein looks at taboo topics in comedy -- the Holocaust, 9/11, AIDS, racism -- and gets insights from legendary comedians including Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, Sarah Silverman, Gilbert Gottfried and Harry Shearer. Through these interviews and clips from stand-up comedy, TV shows, and movies, "The Last Laugh" offers a fresh take on what is and isn’t off-limits in a society that prizes freedom of speech.
"The Last Laugh" opens Friday, March 3rd at Lincoln Plaza Cinemas at 1886 Broadway. For more information, click here.
