For more than seven decades, Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks made America laugh—either through their remarkable solo careers or their legendary partnership. Whether together or apart, they were giants of American comedy who conquered every field they entered, whether television, movies, Broadway, or records. This presentation will examine their extraordinary achievements, beginning with their work together on Sid Caesar's Your Show of Shows and their creation of the 2000 Year Old Man, to their individual accomplishments as writers, directors, and performers. Presented by Brian Rose, professor emeritus at Fordham University. Registration is required.  https://mcl.org/
