About The Show:
Gene Wilder
(Young Frankenstein, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory)and Gilda Radner (Original Cast of “Saturday Night Live”) were in love, but the story doesn't end there!

Journey through the lives of these two famous comedians – from the day they fell in love to turbulent changes in their careers to a sad, sudden goodbye. This heartfelt comedy lets audiences spend a night with two legends who found love and laughter in even the darkest of places..
