The documentary "Wait for Your Laugh" opens in New York on November 3rd. It tells the little-known story of Rose Marie, who perhaps had the longest career in show biz history. Jason Wise, Director of "Wait for Your Laugh", and Peter Marshall, Narrator of the documentary and former host of iconic game show "Hollywood Squares," join to chat about the evolution of Hollywood.
