From the producers of Broadway: The American Musical - winner of the 2005 Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Nonfiction Series - comes Make' Em Laugh: The Funny Business Of American. Hosted by Billy Crystal and narrated by Amy Sedaris, this six-part series explores what's made America laugh for over one hundred years - and why. From the pratfalls that entertained immigrants at the turn of the 20th century to the biting television satire of today, Make 'Em Laugh explores the works of our greatest comics, showcasing some of the funniest moments in American entertainment. In the words of comedy writer and series consultant Anne Beatts, "Make 'Em Laugh is the first primetime television series to look beyond the 'pie in the face' to the face behind the pie"
