SYNOPSIS: Al and Willie as “Lewis and Clark” were top-billed vaudevillians for over forty years. Now, they aren’t even speaking. When CBS requests them for a “History of Comedy” retrospective, a grudging reunion brings the two back together, along with a flood of memories, miseries and laughs.

“It’s ham on wry.. Simon’s sure footed craftsmanship and his one-liners are as exquisitely apt as ever.” (NY Post)
