Synopsis

The late 1950s saw the rise of a new kind of stand-up comedy, a bold departure from traditional, lighthearted routines. These comedians fearlessly addressed previously off-limits topics like sex, religion, drugs, and politics, launching a more intellectual, satirical, and spontaneous era of comedy. This collection features performances by many of the pioneering comedians who took those risks decades ago, influencing today’s most daring performers. Many of these rare television appearances have remained unseen for 30 or 40 years. Includes: Carl Reiner & Mel Brooks (1966), Jackie Mason (1961), Bob Newhart (1966), Shelly Berman (1966), Bill Cosby (1965), Jonathan Winters (1961), Smothers Brothers (1974), Steve Martin (1977), Rowan & Martin (1964), Lily Tomlin (1975), George Carlin (1967 & 1975), Richard Pryor (1967 & 1974), Andy Kaufman (1977), Hendra & Ullett (1966), Billy Crystal (1976), Jay Leno (1978), David Letterman (1979).
