Plot.....:
Who said of war, "When you get into trouble 5,000 miles from your home,
you've got to have been looking for it"? Was it Bill Maher? Jon Stewart?
Stephen Colbert? Nope; it was Will Rogers, whose good-humored pokes at
politicians defined the 1920s and 30s and set the stage for today s more
confrontational Real Time with Bill Maher, The Daily Show, andThe
Colbert Report. This through line is what makes Make 'Em Laugh such
an enlightening and exhilarating survey of American comedy. This vastly
entertaining six-part PBS series explores how comedy has defined the
nation's character, and spotlights comedians through the generations
who broke the mold, broke the rules, and, in some cases, broke their
necks to make us bust a gut. The ambitious Make 'Em Laugh is divided
into six episodes, each devoted to a particular genre or style of
comedy: "Would Ya Hit a Man with Glasses?: Nerds, Jerks & Oddballs";
"Honey, I'm Home: Breadwinners and Homemakers"; "Slip on a Banana Peel:
The Knockabouts"; "When I'm Bad, I'm Better: The Groundbreakers"; and
"Sock It To Me: Satire and Parody." Host Billy Crystal contributes
some amusing bits to introduce each episode (the best is a pitch-perfect
parody of Ken Burns  stately documentaries). The charmingly off-center
Amy Sedaris narrates. Comedy buffs may squawk over some grievous
omissions, most heinously Ernie Kovacs, David Letterman, Second City,
and SCTV (and don't blame Canada; Jim Carrey, a fellow Great White
Norther, rates a segment). But the roster of participants (over 90
comedians, writers, producers, agents, and historians) is staggering,
and the clips are not just the same old same old. There is rare
footage of Elaine May and Mike Nichols and Tom Lehrer. The series is
contemporary enough to include Judd Apatow, Larry David, The Simpsons,
and Family Guy. The old masters (Chaplin, Keaton, Laurel & Hardy, the
Marx Brothers, W.C. Fields, and The Three Stooges) get their due,
as do the so-called sick and cerebral comedians of the 1950s,  60s,
and  70s (Lenny Bruce, Shelley Berman, Richard Pryor, George Carlin),
for whom "getting a laugh and getting at the truth were the same
thing." To its credit, Make  Em Laugh gives respect to some faded
or forgotten clowns, characters, and kidders, including Harold Lloyd,
Mae West, Moms Mabley, Phil Silvers, and Alan Sherman. If someone
doesn't tickle your fancy, another entertainer will be along shortly.
Cultural historians are on hand to explain what it all means, but
it's more fun to hear the performers talk about their comedy heroes
and inspirations, and how they found their own voices. At one point,
satirist Mort Sahl reveals that Milton Berle once gave him a pointed
political joke rather than use it himself, and explained to Sahl,
"They don t think I'm smart enough." It may not be a profound
statement, but no truer words are spoken in this series than,
"There will always be funny people, thank goodness." For future
generations of comedians, these people will be a hard act to follow.
