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.
Wise discusses why he felt it was important to highlight the decorated career of Rose Marie, whose rise to fame began at the age of four with her own NBC radio show. He and Marshall believe hers is the greatest untold story in the industry.
Wise and Marshall also dig into how the popularity of streaming services like Netflix have impacted documentaries. Wise says it's put the genre "into everybody's hands now."
