This is a history course with a laugh track. We will explore American history, using humor as a lens for understanding the 20th and 21st centuries. We will discuss how comedy was shaped by and responsive to American society, and how comedians influenced and shaped American life. We will focus on comedy auteurs and incubators, standup, sitcoms, and political satire. We will consider how Americans laughed across generations, what and whom they laughed at, and what that reveals about American life.
