King of Comedy (1982)

Nobody knows Rupert Pupkin, but after 11:30 tonight no one will ever forget him. SECRET BASE CINEMA hosts THE KING OF COMEDY (1982) at the MARIEMONT on Thursday, June 5th. Synopsis: Rupert Pupkin (Robert De Niro) is a failure in life but a celebrity in his own mind, hosting an imaginary talk show in his mother's basement. When he meets actual talk show host Jerry Langford (Jerry Lewis), he's convinced it will provide his big break, but Langford isn't interested in the would-be comedian. Undaunted, Pupkin effectively stalks Langford -- and when that doesn't work, he kidnaps him, offering his release in exchange for a guest spot on Langford's show.DramaPT1H49MPG2025-06-05
