Caroline Hirsch owned Carolines on Broadway stand-up comedy club in Times Square for 40 years.

“Like Streisand, I’m from Brooklyn’s Pulaski Street in Williamsburg. Parents in manufacturing. Did Catholic school, City College, FIT, took the subway and grew up here.. First came Jay Leno. Then Jerry Seinfeld, Sandra Bernhard, Bill Maher. One agency rep’d others. They’d done Johnny Carson, Dave Letterman and we started with their people. Pee-wee Herman didn’t even then have an act, but he put it together. Jimmy Fallon came to do comedy songs.

’83 Billy Crystal got passed over for ‘Saturday Night Live.’ After Carolines, ‘SNL’ hired him their next season. “One night Leno and Letterman brought Paul Reiser to open for them. Jim Gaffigan was in our comedy school. Lena Dunham took our comedy class. Judd Apatow snuck in to meet Pee-wee Herman.‘The Ghost of John McCain’ play gets inside Trump’s mind and rankles senator’s family: ‘A gross cash grab’“I know Tracy Morgan 20 years and we’ll work together again at Town Hall. I’m always in touch with Bill Maher, who’ll do our Beacon Theater Comedy Festival.”. Getting too rough.
