From Milton Berle to David Letterman: A History of TV Comedy with author and lecturer, Brian Rose, Professor Emeritus, Fordham University.
Please join us for a fascinating survey on the extraordinary landscape of American TV comedy, examining changes from the vaudeville shtick of Milton Berle to the slapstick artistry of Lucille Ball to the social satire of Saturday Night Live and the self-reflexive absurdities of David Letterman and The Simpsons.
Registration Required! This Livestreamed Event can be viewed from home, or in the Edward Smith Library's Community Room.
