David Misch · Jewish Comedy and Musical Satire
- Pacific Time Virtual Program
Why have Jewish writers and performers had such an outsized influence on American comedy and musical satire? Screenwriter David Misch (Saturday Night Live, Mork and Mindy, The Muppets Take Manhattan) explores this question through an entertaining multimedia presentation that examines both the cultural roots and contemporary expressions of Jewish humor.
Drawing on his extensive experience in comedy writing, Misch looks at how a particular worldview—shaped by history, tradition, and a certain skeptical sensibility—has influenced everything from Tin Pan Alley to late-night television. The presentation features musical examples from Jewish songwriters who've used satire to comment on American culture, politics, and the human condition.
Join us for an insider's perspective on comedy, complete with song clips, historical context, and insights from someone who's worked at the highest levels of American entertainment.
