Laugh with Groundlings alums Will Forte and Cheryl Hines: Your quarantine must-watch
If you’ve got five bucks, they’ve got the yucks in “The Groundlings 45th Anniversary Show.”
“The Last Man on Earth” star Will Forte, “Curb Your Enthusiasm” actress Cheryl Hines and “Community” cast member Jim Rash are among the Groundlings alums who took part in this celebration of the venerable improv-comedy company and school that was recorded in Hollywood in October.
A 24-hour rental of the performance can be yours for a nominal sum between 3 p.m. Friday and 3 p.m. Sunday at vimeo.com.
