The Second City
On December 16, 1959, PAUL SILLS, HOWARD ALK, and BERNARD SAHLINS opened a small club, THE SECOND CITY, in Chicago. Since then, it has been the starting point for an amazing number of comics, writers, and actors. In 1976, SCTV was launched with a cast including JOHN CANDY, JOE FLAHERTY, EUGENE LEVY, ANDREA MARTIN, RICK MORANIS, CATHERINE O'HARA, DAVE THOMAS, and later, MARTIN SHORT.
