From his earliest days headlining in his parents' living room to the golden days as America's favorite television comic, Buddy Young, Jr. (Billy Crystal, "City Slickers", "When Harry Met Sally...") remains in a class by himself. With the help of his brother/manager (David Paymer, "City Slickers"), who's always ready to catch him when he falls, Buddy's hilarious back-stage climb-to-the-middle is studded with witty one-liners and rapid-fire routines.
