Second City -Trailer

Second City has spawned generations of great comedians, from Mike Nichols and Elaine May to Mike Myers and Tina Fey. With its emphasis on improvisation, narrative, and character instead of simple jokes, it also changed the way we think about culture—while making us laugh out loud.

Join hosts (and Second City alums) Dave Thomas, Scott Thompson, and Joe Flaherty for an uproarious, behind-the-scenes history of the troupe that incubated more than four decades' worth of funny people. Meet the producers who introduced the world to John Belushi, John Candy, Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, Fred Willard, and more. See rare archival clips of early performances. Hear Dan Aykroyd, Rachel Dratch, Tina Fey, Eugene Levy, Patrick McKenna, Mike Myers, Colin Mochrie, Catherine O'Hara, Harold Ramis, Paul Shaffer, Martin Short, Ryan Stiles, and others reminisce about their salad days. You'll learn why so many performers call Second City the "university" that gave them a higher education in hilarity.
