The Second City: First Family of Comedy

In December 1959, a comedy club opened on Wells Street in Chicago. It spawned generations of great comedians, another club in Toronto, and the hit Canadian television series SCTV. Filmed for Canadian television, hosted by alums Dave Thomas, Scott Thompson, and Joe Flaherty, this hilarious behind-the-scenes history features reminiscences by Dan Aykroyd, Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, Paul Shaffer, and Martin Short, rare archival clips, and more.
