Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost

“Comedy is hard. Marriage is harder. Jerry and Anne somehow juggled both.”

Ben Stiller's father Jerry Stiller (archive footage) and mother Anne Meara (archive footage) were a comedy team who built their act from nothing, performing in clubs and on television through the 1960s and beyond. Ben Stiller examines their partnership through old footage and conversations with family, tracing how two people learned to make an audience laugh together. He carries their work forward, holding what remains of them close.
